FAQ: Macbook Neo for Upper School?
FAQ: Macbook Neo for Upper School?
If your student plans to take Computer Science, Engineering, Photography, Yearbook, etc., which use higher-level programs that require more processing power, we recommend the Macbook Air or Pro. If he or she does not plan to take any courses that require specialized software, the Neo would likely work, but we recommend a Neo with additional storage (512 GB) to last 3+ years of Upper School.
