I don't know anyone who has a desktop computer for their personal computer any more. And word to the wise about the MacBook Air....they are cool looking, light & thin, but will snap in half like a cracker. This happened to a friend of mine when she put hers in the security bin at the airport.
I love love love my MacBook Pro. The fact that it's not a desktop makes it wonderful for group projects or going on vacation and still being able to do your work. I used a desktop and library computers while in school for my ADN but my laptop was a godsend during my BSN classes since they were all online.
I second the notion of getting a PC. Windows vs OS X aside, let's just talk prices.
I had a MacBook that had 4GB RAM and like a 2.1GHz dual-core processor. It was $1300.
I currently have an ASUS Q500A that has 6GB RAM and a 2.3GHz i5 processor. It was $700.
The i5 processor is years newer than just a dual-core intel processor like my MacBook had. There is only a year's difference between when these two computers (Macbook vs ASUS) were manufactured.
