The MacBook Air is a fantastic machine for a college student.

They take them to class. 17-inch is too big. Smaller and lighter will be most

I prefer 13". Even if you find a light 17", they take up a lot of room in a bag.

That's what I'd get.

People say I'm crazy, but big enough for the 10-key. Seriously.

Get a Bluetooth 10 key

Meh. I'd rather have a monitor and a keyboard if I really need the 10 key for

As far as what type, we can have the Mac vs PC argument all day long.

You can rent a laptop or desktop from BYU if you want too (link)

Do not do this. Those laptops are terrible. Not worth the headache

We did it for one of my daughters and it worked better than the one we bought

Strange. I rented them two different years and was there very early.

Buy whatever laptop you choose through the BYU bookstore as well. Automatic $100
