<p>Mac’s are insanely easy to use. Plus if you have any questions you can just call their customer service line or go to an Apple Store and they’d be more than excited to help you.
Since your parents are paying for your computer i don’t know how comfortable they’d be spending that much cash on a Mac.
What it comes down to is first what are they willing to pay for a laptop?
Then figure out what specs you need on your computer. As well as battery life, OS and all that stuff.<br>
Then test out computers at whatever store. Best Buy and/or Apple Store.
Fyi…you can also run windows on a Mac.</p>
<p>What it comes down to is what you are ultimately comfortable with.
Don’t just go for a MB bc it’s what’s popular on campus.
And don’t just go for whatever is the cheapest.
Good luck w the search. </p>
<p>Also I spent about 1300 on my MB back in 2008 (that price includes warranty).
I haven’t had a single problem with it and plan on having it for years to come.</p>
