[QUOTE="salt-slasher, post: 1168747, member: 166590"] OK, I am getting a laptop for College, I am going for a Computer Engineering degree, but still in junior college 1st year. I am going to have around maybe 1000-1100ish to spend but will have extra, and I will get student discount on the Macbook Pro=100$ and Macbook=50$ discount. I passed on the iMac to build my own PC which was 3 months ago. It is a powerhouse at least until I get the upcoming AMD fusion line. So I don't think I really need a super powerhouse laptop to play games at school. But something ultra portable and realiable, but mainly futureproof because I won't be able to upgrade the cpu and gpu like on a Desktop. I had my eye on the DV7tQE w/sandy bridge cpu but when I went to try it at best buy I thought it was nothing compared to the Mac Book Pro, besides for the DV7 being a powerhouse with the newest tech it really didn't feel as good when using it. So is the Mac Book Pro the best college laptop and would it be considered future-proof if I buy it in the next week? Like is there an upcoming release of them with upgrades? Even Rumors? I just don't know Mac timelines, so I don't want it to be next week, and lose out! [/QUOTE]
