Backpack + surface pro with pen + onenote = all you need

M1, I don't find it a issue though. I would recommend surface book over surface laptop if you have concerns. I think there are cheaper alternatves to surface laptop.

Do schools give discounts / deals etc to buy hardware before the school year starts or do I need to take care of this stuff myself

We’re talking hundreds of dollars here... if you want it now, get it. I’d prob wait until June to get both discounts (I.e. friends and family on top of the later lifecycle back to school laptop sales that are typical in June-august)

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
