[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1208509, member: 184879"] Well of course, us here on a Mac forum are going to root for the Macbook Pro. i think you shouldn't worry about the iPad. A laptop can do everything and more. sure it would be nice to have a touchscreen note taker while everyone else is on pen and paper, but is it really necessary? you will be tight on money soon; unless you have a job. heres some advice: [B]if you have a job, keep it![/B] i quit mine for uni, and it was the worst decision i ever made. there are no jobs available anywhere here in the UK, unless you have managerial qualifications. that extra money is a godsend, trust me. portability is great being a student. whenever i have to go to uni to do work i just take my MBP along so i don't have to endure windows. If you are living away from home, and want to visit home occasionally you aren't without a computer for too long. that may be good, may be bad. I live with 7 other students (one doing law, a few doing advertising, etc) and no one has a desktop. [/QUOTE]
