<p>Is there a specific laptop Syracuse recommends, specifically Newhouse? Or is it student discretion?</p>
<p>I don’t know about specific recommendation yet, but I think for Newhouse (I’m going as an incoming Film/tv major) I think the best bet is a Mac because it has the best programs when it comes to my major such as Final Cut Pro, etc</p>
<p>I would definitely recommend Mac for Newhouse. As a junior, my daughter has not outgrown the MAC at all and still loves it. She has had to buy some programs over the years from the bookstore, but it has been a great investment.
By the way, the bookstore has been an excellent place to purchase apple products - there is usually some student special during the summer. The computer will be delivered to your house before school so your student can get used to it.</p>
