Most students need access to computers for their studies, and many students will take their own device to college with them instead of relying only on campus facilities. Apple^® devices are particularly popular among college students. Here is your guide to choosing the right computer from all of the Apple products available.

What Do You Need It For?

What kind of computer you need depends on a number of different factors, such as the course you are taking and how portable you need the device to be. College students often use their personal devices during lectures these days, and you might also want to transport it around campus to use it in a library or cafe. For that reason, college students sometimes have multiple Apple devices. They might have a desktop iMac^® in their residence, along with smaller, portable Apple devices like a MacBook^® laptop or iPad^® tablet.

What Are the Options?

If your course involves activities such as recording music, studying graphic design, or conducting scientific mapping by computer, you'll want to think about a highly advanced machine like an iMac Pro^®. On the other hand, if you are likely to be doing a lot of field studies and need a portable device to be used outside, a MacBook would be a good choice. The MacBook Air^® is more powerful and less expensive, but it also has less storage. If you need high performance and don’t mind carrying a heavier device, go for the MacBook Pro^®.
