Where do I buy my Laptop?

Considering purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro?

Strong Recommendations: 

• If you're considering the 13" MacBook Pro, if cost is the most important consideration, consider the base model. If you are looking to upgrade the RAM or SSD then consider the 2.0GHz model.
• If you are in Industrial Design, Environmental Design, Material Art & Design, Digital Futures (Undergrad or Graduate), Integrated Media, Digital Painting and Expanded Animation or if you plan to run Windows software, we strongly recommend you consider Windows PC options.
