Macbook Pro for business student
Would a Macbook Pro be a good computer for classes like econ and stats because there isn't a numeric pad.

you just answered your own question, those classes would definitely be easier with a numeric pad. if you are adamant on buying a MBP then you can buy a USB numeric pad.

The only time you'll be using your computer for stats would be to Google what the fuck the question is even asking. (Can confirm; stats retard checking in)

the only time you need a laptop is when doing group work/at a group meeting.
try drawing a supply and demand graph on a laptop for econ.
function > form for school.

Buy a Mac and install Windows on it. Then you can still look cool while being able to do all your work. FYI no one in business uses a Mac.
