I’ll be a freshmen at UC Davis this upcoming year and was thinking about getting a mac for the school year, but is this the best choice?
There are so many variables:
What’s your major? What are you going to be using the laptop for? How much can you realistically spend on a laptop? How long do you want the laptop to last? Are you planning on gaming?
In the end, barring very specific situations, you should be able to get by with any decent laptop (Windows or mac). The “best choice” is really a matter of personal preference.
