Hey, everyone. I'm about to finalize my purchase on a laptop for dental school. I had a Macbook Air that almost lasted 5 years (someone broke it w/ raspberry pi). I really want to buy another Macbook Air.
Pros:
1. Cost: $850 plus tax (with student discount) + free $300 Beats Headphones I can sell for at least $250, so comes down to $600 plus tax.
2. Lightweight
3. Excellent customer service from Apple Genius Bar
4. fast, dependable
Cons:
1. Old technology
I'm also looking at the MacBook, but it's SUPER expensive! It's like $1,250 (with the student discount), so minus the headphones profit it's $1,000 plus tax. Is the MacBook worth the $400? I'm just worried about the old technology in the Macbook Air. I know they're going to phase it out soon.
Also looking into iPad Pro, but I love having a computer. Thanks, guys!
