Buy[/url]</p> </div> <p>The cheapest MacBook we've been able to find is a 13.3-inch Certified Apple Refurbished
MacBook Pro. You can always try your hand at getting a cheaper MacBook off Craigslist or eBay, but there's considerably more risk. The model here has enough horsepower at 2.5 GHz and 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GB storage should be enough to store all of your assignments. If you're upgrading, you can always
save some cash by selling off your old Mac. This price may not stick around forever based on stock levels, but if you find a cheaper MacBook out there, leave a link in the comments!</p> <h2 data-title="Power">For power: 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro</h2> <p><a href='

Buy[/url]</p> </div> <p>If you want the absolute top of the line MacBook, the 15-inch
MacBook Pro with Retina display is a beast. It can be upgraded up to a 2.8 GHz quad-core processor, with 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. Every input you could need is here, including Thunderbolt, HDMI, SD, and USB. Those specs, including screen size, can be pared down considerably, but even the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,300. On the upside, the smaller, cheaper MacBook Pro can be configured to have a slightly faster processor, if that's more important to you.</p> <h2 data-title="Value">For value: 13-inch MacBook Air</h2> <p><a href='

MacBook Air. It offers an SD card slot and two standard-sized USB 3 inputs, 128 GB of storage, a dual-core 1.6 GHz i5 processor, and 4 GB of RAM. 12 hours of battery life and a super-slim profile make the MacBook Air perfect for carrying around and using all day long.</p> <h2 data-title="Portability">For portability: 2015 MacBook</h2> <p><a href='

Buy[/url]</p> </div> <p>The
new 2015 MacBook manages to be slimmer and lighter than the existing 11.6-inch MacBook Air (131 mm vs 170 mm, 2.03 pounds versus 2.38 pounds) yet offers more horsepower. Of course, you'll be paying a bit of a premium to get all of that in one package, but depending on how tightly packed your schedule is, it may be worth the investment. The MacBook has a 12-inch Retina display, 256 GB of storage, a 1.1 GHz Intel Core M processor, and 8 GB of RAM. The new MacBook does just about everything through its lone USB-C port, which may necessitate a slightly awkward adapter when transferring files, but it's safe to say this input is future-proof.</p> <ul><li>
