Choosing the Best Mac for a College-Bound Student in 2025

Consider getting a new Mac for your college-bound child, especially if their current computer is unreliable or old.
Check with the college for any specific requirements regarding processor type, RAM, and storage space.
Choose a laptop over a desktop Mac for mobility and convenience.
For most students, the MacBook Air is a suitable choice, with options like the 13-inch M1 model or the newer 13-inch and 15-inch M4 models.
For tasks like video editing, consider the 14-inch MacBook Pro for better performance.
Consider Windows compatibility if required, but note the limitations with Apple silicon.
Select the appropriate processor, memory size, and storage capacity based on the student's needs and budget.
The ideal Mac for most students would be the 13-inch or 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with 10-core GPU, 16 GB memory, and 512 GB storage.
Don't forget to budget for AppleCare+ to cover any accidental damages.
