Starting college with an Apple^® computer keeps you prepared and ahead of the curve. There are many models to choose from, so you can narrow down your choices based on your academic needs. Here’s what you need to know to help you decide on a MacBook^® laptop or an iMac^® computer.

Why Should You Get an Apple Product?

There is an Apple computer for every type of college student. If you're living on campus, a MacBook or iMac takes up less space on your desk than a normal personal computer, giving you more room to write with a textbook open or use other study materials. You'll also be less susceptible to viruses and other malicious online software that are commonly found in desktop computers.

What Kind of Apple Computers Are Available?

Apple is known for developing powerful, lightweight computers with gorgeous screen displays and long-lasting battery life. The MacBook is Apple's lineup for portable computers. You have several options, with sizes ranging from 12 to 15 inches. Their unibody design makes their laptops more durable than the plastic cases used by their competitors. If you need a stationary desktop computer, the iMac offers powerful performance with an easy-to-use interface and simplistic hardware. The iMac and iMac Pro^® both work well for students and professionals alike.

How Do You Find a Product for a Specific Class?

Choosing the right Apple computer for your needs depends on your curriculum. If you'll mostly be writing in class or using the internet for research, a standard MacBook will suffice. If you're studying graphic design, music production, or another creative major, you'll need the iMac for its performance capabilities in rendering speed and random access memory availability. However, if you need portability with performance, the MacBook Pro^® is a good starting point.
