CS Major in college, first time MBA buyer

ram
make sure you get that student discount.

 

go with ram imo

 

RAM is more important. CPU will give you a slight bump. Don't they teach you this as a comp sci major?

 

Get the RAM upgrade.

 

Might want to rethink your major... JKJK! good luck~ and I agree with the rest, do the ram.

 

Cool. You'll enjoy the Macbook. Besides, you'll need the ram so you can have a Windows environment to run IDEs like Visual Studio .NET.

 

It is pretty unlikely he'll ever need a Windows environment for school, let alone Visual Studio.

For CS you could do without both but if you have the money to burn, ram is more likely to be helpful.

 

depends on how good of a student you are. if you are just going to study cs "one day" and haven't done any calculus (or ap credits) you won't be coding anytime soon.

 

RAM upgrade and get the student discount.
