💬 Student Q&A

@Diannis Puello: “I currently have an HP laptop—should I switch to a Mac? I have an iPhone and all the accessories loll!!”
@Juanita (Creator): “I used to have an HP as well and switched to a Mac freshman year of college! Definitely recommend—you can probably move your iPhone data to your Mac as well :)”


✔ Consider your major, daily workload, and whether you need specific software (e.g. Adobe, AutoCAD, Excel-heavy work)
✔ Don’t overspend—most students only need moderate specs unless doing graphic-heavy work
✔ Look out for back-to-school discounts and student deals!
