A history student should not have any problem exchanging Office documents between Windows and OS X platforms.
Science students will have issues though as Word doesn't translate between platformswell when the documents are full of equations.

If I'd go the Macbook Pro 13" route - is the "smallest" of them, the 2.3ghz good for handling and processing raw files with file sizes around 120mb in either lightroom or aperture?

May contain traces of nut
where on earth would you get a 120 MB RAW file from? Do you use medium format digital backs or something?

dng-files from the Coolscan V scanner are mostly around that size if you scan with the maximum resolution.

Working with Stitched or in camera panos is becoming a common thing doc.
The files can become quite huge. I'm struggling with this right now.
To answer your question Florian. The MBP 13" w/ i5 will work. Max out the RAM to 8gigs and again, a SSD will help open the bottleneck when processing big files.

Thanks again for your help, guys. I just ordered a Macbook Pro 13", one from the new model range, the 2.4ghz.

Anyone used the high end Macbook Air for photo/graphics work. So tempted to replace my aging, 2008, 15" Macbook Pro with one. Hoping the rumors of a 15" Air or Air/Pro hybrid come true.
Also need some actual Thunderbolt peripherals. If someone made a nice dock (besides the new Apple Monitor that does this) I'd be all set. Wouldn't have to unplug 6 different connectors (monitor, firewire, USB, speakers, iPod dock power) every time I want to take it out to a coffee shop.
