Should I get the new MacBook for University?

Hello, I am looking for a suitable laptop for assignments and Uni workload.
Is the new MacBook suitable for university life and worth it? I find it really easy to bring anywhere since the weight is only 0.92 kg (2.03 pounds). Yet, I also find that the new MacBook is more to people who want their laptop to look as stylish as they can and not really suitable for students since the storage is not really big (inadequate) and we have loads of assignments. I don't really know about gadgets, all I know is that I want the laptop to be easy to carry anywhere.

So, between the new MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, which one is more suitable, and most importantly, worth for Uni student?

You are very unlikely to pass your degree unless you have a MacBook pro...
