Question from Maria: Hi Rick. I recently purchased a MacBook Air with the M1 processor.
I am new to MacBooks so I am on a learning curve even though I have both an iPhone and an iPad.
I wanted to buy an external hard drive for my processor but have no idea what type I should get. I would like it mainly to back up my iTunes library and photos. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Question from Alveda F.: Hi Rick. My daughter is a college freshman. Her laptop was stolen a few days ago during a visit to the library and she needs to replace it.
Price is an issue, but it’s important to me that she get the best computer for her needs even if it costs a little more.
I know they are more expensive than Windows laptops, but her friends have convinced her that she needs to buy a MacBook. That’s fine with me, but she’s confused about which model to get.
Her choice is basically between a MacBook Air (#ad) and a MacBook Pro. (#ad)
Which do you think would be better for her? She’s a History major if that makes any difference.
