Mac laptops….confusing the hell out of me…computer buffs please help!?

I have just started a media degree and uni.
Our course booklet specified we should purchase a mac laptop as it is the software we will use for the next 3 years.

If you’re doing really high end image and video editing you will want (not need) the nicest thing you can get your hands on.

However, the only real difference will be how long it will take for you to do your editing since the computer will be slower. Do not skimp on hard drive space you will need as much as you can get. You can buy an external hard drive though if you need to. Those are generally cheap.
