Any of the current Apple Macintosh models will perform well for most academic tasks including email, web-surfing, word processing, spreadsheets, basic statistical analysis, etc. If you plan to do heavy-duty graphics, audio/video editing, database work or statistical analysis, you should consider a system with more memory and/or a faster processor.

Columbia students, faculty, and staff can buy direct from Apple on-line or by mail-order for delivery to your campus package address or a home or other off-campus address.

For assistance choosing a Mac, send e-mail to apple-sales@columbia.edu.
