I am currently an undergraduate and college and am looking to go into the social media marketing field and was wondering what recommendations you all would have in terms of a laptop or desktop computer?

That depends greatly on your budget and your particular requirements.

Check with your instructors, and see if they have any suggestions here. They may or know which apps or tooling they will be teaching, too.

Also visit a local Apple Store, and discuss this with them.

Pragmatically, generating text isn’t performance- or resource-intensive. Any iPad and any Mac will be able to view and enter text.

You’ll then decide if you need portability, or lower cost, or a physical keyboard, or other features you want or need.

Budget for details and add-ons such as cables, adapters, displays, backups, too.

PS: and don’t get all wrapped up about the particular tooling that the instructors favor. That all changes inevitably, quite possibly before you graduate, and certainly after.

Will you be doing it freelance? If so you'll want a MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro processor or better as you don't know what your clients will ask of you.

If you plan on working as a contractor or full-time employee of an organization, they will likely provide you with a standard computer.

If you're just looking for college, you should consult with your academic advisor.

For digital marketing, especially focused on social media, you need a computer with strong performance and portability. A good option is the MacBook Pro (M1 or M2 chip) for its powerful performance, high-quality display, and excellent battery life. Alternatively, if you prefer Windows, the Dell XPS 13 or the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 are great choices for their sleek design, high-resolution screens, and reliable performance.

When it comes to digital marketing, the best Apple computer or laptop for your needs depends on various factors such as budget, portability, and specific requirements. The latest Apple computers provide excellent performance and features that can enhance your digital marketing efforts.

For professionals seeking a powerful and portable option, the MacBook Pro is a top choice. With its impressive processing power, stunning display, and long battery life, it can handle demanding marketing tasks with ease.

If you prefer a desktop setup with a larger screen and more processing power, the iMac Pro is worth considering. It offers exceptional performance, a brilliant Retina display, and ample storage capacity for managing your marketing projects effectively.

Ultimately, the best Apple computer for digital marketing will depend on your preferences and workflow. It's recommended to visit an Apple Store or consult with experts to get personalized advice based on your specific needs and budget.

Albeit, sales of new iMac Pro models were discontinued two years ago.

It’s also the Intel x86-64 architecture, and all of the current Mac models have migrated to Apple silicon.

The analogs to iMac Pro in the current line are the iMac 24”, and Mac Studio, and these are both substantially faster than the iMac Pro. You will need a display with Mac Studio, and Apple, LG, and other vendors offer fine choices.

Any Apple Product Will Be Fantastic For Digital Marketing.
