Getting a macbook tomorrow for Rice. Anything I need to know as an engineering major?

and you’ll need it to last you four years.



I mean, back when we started, laptops were significantly more expensive and , I guess, valued.

I wouldnt plan on a laptop for 4 years. While I also have a macbook that has lasted 4 years (as well as 2 PC’s), a couple of friends got cheaper machines and replaced them their junior year. The result was a significantly better machine with much better battery life for the last 2 years.

Either way, the decision is yours. I personally am for cheaper machines that can be upgraded.
