Im confused out of these two which display is better:

1) 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with support for millions of colors
Supported resolutions:
1440 by 900 (native), 1280 by 800, 1152 by 720, and 1024 by 640 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio and 1024 by 768 and 800 by 600 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio

2)Display Type: HD TruBrite® LED Backlit display
Screen Size: 13.3"
Maximum Resolution: 1366 x 768

I dont know wtf they mean but they are same price. Can someone tell me which ones better?

get any old regular piece of shit, if you're a goddamn law/comm student you don't need any sort of worthwhile machine for university

in fact you don't even need a laptop at all
This pretty much, you don't really need a laptop for uni.

but my typing is significantly faster
Your exams are hand written, so working on being able to write fast is more important than being able to type fast.

You are very misinformed. Some Law exams will require essay writing, but most require you to do problem questions or case notes. In my experience, these exams can be very demanding both from an intellectual standpoint and a writing standpoint.

Hello sghguos,
13-Inch MacBook Air has been upgraded not only with 4th generation core (Haswell) processor but also improved with integrated graphics, faster flash storage and next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi. and its familiar design makes it worthy to spent money on it. So i guess it would be a good choice.

Already mentioned but I don't know where this is coming from, quite a few law exams have essay components...
