<p>Would it be a good idea to get a Macbook for this fall?</p>
<p>Yes; Macs and PCs are both supported on campus. Furthermore, you can’t go wrong with a Mac nowadays. Mac computers support both the Macintosh OS, and the Windows OS; on top of this, the Mac computers have superior design, and power.</p>
<p>Go get one.</p>
<p>One might want to wait on getting a macbook. Looking at apple’s earlier releases (15 mbp feb, 17 mpb april, and now an update to the 15 & 17 along with the release of the mb) they seem to update their product line once every 2-3 months. If you can hold off for the summer, by the time august rolls around you might be able to pick up a better system for the same price. (I’m crossing my fingers for a 12-inch macbook pro.)</p>
