IPhone or Macbook for college student?
In your opinion, which works best for college student?
A Macbook or iPhone?
Macbook
Where? Studying what? Usage requirements? Connectivity options?
Well, you can't compare these two. An iPhone is a phone, and a mackbook is a laptop. Anyway, both phone and laptop is necessary for college student these days.

The Macbook will actually let you get work done. The iPhone is just a distraction. You could get by just fine with a $20 bar phone.
Neither. You need a Surface Book.

But from personal experience, I would suggest a Windows laptop. I like my Macbook and everything, but it sucks in the sense that my whole school uses Windows computers and compatibility is an issue. Some profs use a program called Office Mix and I had to buy Windows 7 software and bootcamp my Mac, just because it was not supported in the first place. So, for the sake of saving yourself future stress, I would suggest a good Windows laptop or installing Windows on an Apple computer if you choose to buy one.
Get an Android Phone and a Windows Laptop, you can buy both for the same price as the new Iphone or Macbook and you will be setup way better for college than just having one Iphone or one Macbook.
Get the MacBook also if you want an iPhone 4s you can buy a used one online for about 100 bucks. They work pretty good still. That way you'll have both. I think both items are a necessity.
- What's the best laptop for an incoming college student? I'm going to college this fall and I'm torn between a laptop like the dell xps 13 or the Macbook air 13'. I really like the touchscreen option for the dell, but I like apple products, even though I've only ever used an iPad and iPhone. I might use products like photoshop and blendr for fun. I'm so torn. Are MacBooks easy to get used to? Is a touch screen helpful? Which laptop do I get?
- What's the best camera for a college student? I'm looking for a decent camera under $250 for college. I don't really like using my iPhone as a camera because the pictures aren't great. My main priority is low-light. I don't need a lot of features, just a good camera that takes nice pictures, especially in low-light. Right now I'm leaning towards the Sony Cybershot DSC WX150 (slightly above my price range) or a Canon Powershot 510.
- Is it possible for an entering college student to realistically survive without a smartphone? (Ranting WELCOME)? I currently have a smartphone (iPhone SE) that is badly cracked, and I've gotten the opportunity to get a new one, which happens to be, a dumbphone. I'm entering college in a few days, with a super high powered, functions I'll probably never use laptop, could I realistically survive in college without a smartphone? Please give the hard truth REAL details… Feel free to rant!
- Is Iphone 16 or 64 GB enough for a college student? I have to store tons of photos i have and documents and apps that i need i think 16 gb is enough but i heard other things also take up space. I already have a macbook pro
