Should I purchase an iPhone 5 or a MacBook Air (college)?
This fall, I will be a first year college student. Currently, I have an iPhone 3GS and it is on the verge of becoming useless. I will need to buy a laptop for school.
Sorry if I sound so pretentious, but I need to be frugal with my money, it's one or the other. The iPhone being $700, I could purchase a cheaper laptop around $500, but I would have to install Norton on it ad it may not last throughout college (4 year degree).
The laptop (13") being around $1200, I may get a 'student deal' of $50 off, and I could just purchase a cheaper phone - having a reliable laptop.
I need some opinions, I would really like to have a phone that has amazing camera quality, but it would be great to have a laptop that would last me 4 years and is light to carry around campus.
Laptop - you can always get a cheaper phone but a good laptop is vital.
I'd say get the laptop, and buy a cheaper phone.
You will NEED laptop in college. When your professors are teaching, it is vital that you get all the notes down needed. At least with a laptop, you can keep all your notes, projects, and other materials in one place. Not to mention research and stuff. You can't really do all that with a phone (Well you could, but it would be really hard). There are tons of cheaper phones out there with good camera quality.
3GS is not worthless, its fine for making phone calls, texting or looking stuff up. You don't have to replace that, where the laptop is something you have to have for school
IPhone! There's not one hour I go without using it.
- Which should I get, Apple ipad pro OR Macbook Air? I can't decide which I want, and which is the better option. I like the ipad pro (most likely the 12.9) because of the touch, pencil and the app store. I like the macbook air because its light, still integrates with my iphone, great battery life and the ability to run programs. This device won't be used for anything crazy. I still have a windows laptop thats used quite a bit. Any thoughts or suggestions?
- Should I get a MacBook Air or an iPhone 5S/5C? I got enough money to buy an iPhone for my birthday, but my mothers says that if I save my money until Christmas, I can get a MacBook Air. My phone is an old samsung galaxy ace, and it has all sorts of problems. It has very limited space and a very short battery life, and is super slow. My family's PC is slow, and is running out of space. I need that space for documents, and to be able to synch my iPad with iTunes. This is a really tough decision, please help!
- Should I buy the iPhone 5 or Macbook Air? So I'm saving to get one of them but I'm not sure which one! I already have a phone but it's the Nokia C3-00 so it's quite old and I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now. I don't have my own laptop but I share one with my mum and I can use it after school only and I can't take it to school because she uses it for work. (The laptop is an HP laptop not an Apple product.) I also have an iPad Mini.
- Is the $999 2012 11 Macbook Air good enough for iphone game/app development? I want to make games and apps for iphone and ipod touch so bad but not sure if the specs of the 11" 2012 mba are good enough seeing that the processor is at 1.7 ghz. I plan on upgrading the ram when i buy it to 8gb. Will this mac be good enough to develop games and app for iphone and ipod touch smoothly?
