<p>Is Macbook enough to handle assignments, view them on 13th inch screen or do you think you need Pro (15 inch) with more performance but pricier?</p>
<p>I think either will be fine but then again every once in a while some programs don’t work on Macs. If you have Windows installed on your Mac with Boot Camp then you don’t have to worry. Actually I really wouldn’t worry just get the MacBook Pro.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not up at cornell yet, but I’ve had experience with both screen sizes. I used to have one of the old 12-inch powerbooks and loved the portability…and I just purchased a macbook pro (15 inch) for college with the extra screen size. I think both sizes will be fine for you. It rrealy is a matter of preference. Do you want something smaller (and with slightly less power), or do you want a more powerful machine with a biger screen that will be bigger and heavier and more expensive. Both of them appear to meet reqs for cornell and are sold at their store for pretty good prices.</p>
<p>This this strictly for assignments? If so, there’s little reason for a Mac.</p>
<p>For assignments, it doesn’t matter what computer it is, as long as it turns on, is able to open an internet browser and a word processor</p>
<p>just to post out of boredom, I use a 12" Powerbook G4 that I’ve had for about 3 years. It’s the best, the portability is really why I bought it in the first place. I have books and binders that are heavier and larger.</p>
<p>Get a Macbook and then a 19inch LCD. The duo screen is Awesome. This combination gives you portability, screen size, and cheap price. One problem is… I dont think I can use duo screen in the dorm room. Macbook’s screen is bound to block the 19inch’s.</p>
<p>allow me to introduce you to the 2nd dimension. In addition to placing your macbook directly in front of your monitor, you can also put it on either side ;)</p>
<p>or even raise it on a few books!</p>
