[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 364643, member: 24098"] Your needs are very basic. I would recommend saving money on high-end hardware. A standard MacBook with 1GB of RAM should serve you well. Do get the SuperDrive for backups and I would recommend an AppleCare extended warranty so that your MacBook is covered during the majority of your time in college. Nothing is worse than having your machine out of commission when you have a project due. A good bag/case is also essential for a college student. I would recommend something that will hold plenty of books in addition to your notebook. You might also wish to consider a security lock if you plan on using your notebook in public places. I have a Targus Defcon CL (about $30 US) that I use to keep my MacBook Pro on my desk at work. This way, I can confidently walk away from it when I need to. It's also easy to remove and place just about anywhere that has a secure place to wrap it around. [/QUOTE]
