I am majoring in computer science. Should i get the 12 in macbook, 13 in macbook pro without touchbar or 13 in pro with touchbar? I know the 12 in is slower but by how much? Will it affect me majorly? Will i be ok with the 12 in for four years of college and for computer science major? Thanks i want a light weight laptop
Any mac will be fine. My friend (computer science major) has the 12 inch and has no problem with it. You could also get the 13 MacBook pro but its all about what you like.
Is everything text based or does comp sci require some video/photo formatting
I recommend 13" MBP with Retina display
12" Macbook has the processor and power equivalent to a tablet. Its biggest benefit is the beautiful display and the very light weight of only 2 lbs. But at $1300-1600+, it’s extremely overpriced for the average consumer.
The 13" Macbook Pro 2015 model is recommendable. 2016 and 2017 models are not bad but are overpriced. The touchbar is a nice feature, but for $100+ extra, it’s not really necessary.
