Do I need a MacBook for architecture school and should I get it insured?

I'll be going to architecture school in autumn and was wondering if I would really need a MacBook for it. I was considering going all out and buying a 17" MacBook Pro because I want a good quality one that will last me through my bachelors and masters (5 yrs generally) but then again I would be kind of wary carrying that…

I'll be going to architecture school in autumn and was wondering if I would really need a MacBook for it. I was considering going all out and buying a 17" MacBook Pro because I want a good quality one that will last me through my bachelors and masters (5 yrs generally) but then again I would be kind of wary carrying that around because I'd be afraid of having it stolen.

So does anyone have any experience with MacBooks in architecture? Would it just be overkill?

Also if I were to get that MacBook pro should I bother taking out insurance and if so what company has the best offer for it. Should I just get it on my parents' house insurance (is that possible despite that I'll be living away?)?

I think you need to post this query on

the mac forum here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=108

or the EDU forum relevant to the college where you will be studying:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=28

or perhaps the Art and Architecture forum here:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=632

This forum is for dealing with security discussion relating to computers but not secruity in the form of insurance or what is the best type of lock or which OS will stay viable for longer.

closign thread without redirect 'cos I hoenstly dont know which option is the best for this question.
