Processor and RAM
For a social or economics degree, you don't need a very powerful processor. Choose at least a MacBook Neo with an A18 Pro processor to work smoothly in your reports and apps. With at least 8GB RAM, you can easily open multiple files at the same time. You can then easily write a report while conducting online research. Choose at least 512GB storage capacity to ensure that you always have important files at hand.
Screen
Which screen size you choose depends mainly on your personal preferences. Choose a smaller 13-inch screen to work easily on the go, for example on the train. You'll see less of your files on this small screen and multitasking is more difficult. On a larger 15-inch screen, you see more of your files and can comfortably open multiple files side by side. Due to its larger size, this MacBook is less easy to carry around in your bag.
