umm but yeah building a pc is pretty easy, just follow a tutorial on youtube or something

should take ~10mins for an experienced builder, an hour for a newbie

or pay MSY $70 to build it for you

id say

it doesnt really matter

and you will be happy with either

unless you get both

and see that one is noticeably better than the other

then you will be like omg why did i just spend $2800 on two laptops when one would have been fine omg

PCDIY Auburn is also very good, it's where MSY previously was (across the road) and just as cheap in most cases, dont have to stand in line for an hour and have 95% of the thing available.

Highly Recommended :)

macbook pro has evererything for a student ...

macbook air its just like a netbook .. not that much you can with it ...

so if you are a college student getting a macbook pro it is well invested and it will be worth the price..

please tell me something it's incapable of doing that similarly priced laptops can, i'm interested to hear
actually for the majority of people,

macbook air + a large external display (thunderbolt display fuck yes) + external optical drive + external hdd+ external kb/mouse

will be more than capable to serve as their primary and only computer

I am going to take a Netbook to Uni and have a MacBook Pro at home. I had a MacBook air, but it was laggy and I did not like it.
