The new school year is just around the corner! Are you going to start a vocational, higher professional or university study next year? Or are you already studying, but are you looking for a new study laptop? Then you will probably want to know which Mac Book suits your study best. Then read on quickly, because we will tell you!
Why should you choose a MacBook over another laptop?
- An Apple laptop almost never crashes
- Will probably last years longer
- Is much more hack and virus proof
- You can be seen wearing it in the lecture hall
And why choose refurbished instead of new?
- Sustainability and affordability go hand in hand with a refurbished MacBook
- These laptops are a smart choice for eco-conscious students who want an Apple product but don't want to spend a fortune.
- By choosing a refurbished MacBook you give a second life to a previously used device, which reduces the demand for new electronics and the burden on natural resources
- Plus, you'll enjoy the same performance and functionality as a new MacBook , without compromising on quality.
Price: How much does it cost?
For most students, price and portability will likely be the deciding factors. We don’t need to dwell on price, as students are almost always strapped for cash. Suffice it to say, a MacBook Air is a lot more affordable than a MacBook Pro – and has more than enough qualities for most students.
Portability: How easy is it to carry?
You take your laptop everywhere, so portability is important. This is mainly determined by weight, size and battery life. This is perfectly fine with both a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air. If you want to take your PC with you, an iMac is definitely out of the question.
Specifications: How does it perform?
A MacBook Pro has better specifications than a MacBook Air. Think of calculation speed, working memory and storage memory. The powerful specs (and premium features such as the Touch Bar) of a MacBook Pro are nice, but for most students not necessary. Things like writing papers, making presentations, streaming videos and doing online research can all be done perfectly well with a MacBook Air.
So what about the iMac?
The iMac is Apple 's all-in-one PC, which has been designed as a flat screen since 2002. So you only have a monitor (and a keyboard and mouse), and no computer case. An iMac has a large screen, no battery and is easily heavier than 5 kilos, which is why it is not intended to be taken with you. You mainly see them in office environments and almost never in student houses. Do you only want to use your computer at home and is a large screen a requirement for you? Then an iMac may be a better choice than a MacBook with an external monitor.
Refurbishment: affordable and sustainable
Want to save extra as a student? Then choose refurbishment. A refurbished MacBook has had a previous owner. After a makeover by our experts, it will be as good as new. Refurbished MacBooks often come from the business community and trade-in programs. They are extensively checked, tested, cleaned, repaired, replaced and upgraded where necessary. As a result, they are up to 60 percent cheaper and you are environmentally conscious. Win-win! And with a two-year warranty, you can be sure that you can enjoy your laptop without any worries!
Studies such as Medicine, Journalism and Psychology
Do you want a powerful study laptop but is the MacBook Pro a bit above your budget? Then the MacBook Air 13 " is a perfect alternative! This laptop has everything you need to work quickly and for a long time. The Air has the longest battery life of all MacBook types: no less than 12 hours! Also extremely handy for a busy student: this laptop is feather-light and super thin, so you can easily take it with you anywhere. For example, you can use it in the lecture hall to take notes and then open it again on the train to prepare that one presentation.
Studies such as Graphic Design, Architecture and Economics
Are you going to work with heavier programs? Do you want to bring your ideas to life in a beautiful design? Or do you need extra power to make complex calculations? Then you do indeed need a powerful study laptop: the MacBook Pro 13". With this MacBook you can edit videos and photos for hours. It is equipped with USB-C ports that ensure super-fast data transfer. Ideal when you want to render or transfer large files. If you are going to follow a study where you have to edit a lot of images, then you are in good hands with this model. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC work like a charm on this MacBook Pro.
Studies such as Game Design, Architecture and ICT
Do the previously mentioned MacBook devices not yet meet your requirements? Then you are going to need a real powerhouse! Of all MacBook types, the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar is the most powerful. You can even equip this MacBook Pro with an 8-core i9 processor to make it a real calculation monster! With these extremely powerful processors and AMD Radeon Pro graphics cards, the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar is ideal when you have to edit a lot of 4K video images or want to run 3D rendering software. This MacBook is therefore ultimately suitable for studies such as Game Design, Architecture and ICT.
