Your son needs to get the requirements from his animation program. Find out what they recommend and what his peers and professors are using.

You might have to purchase expensive animation packages, choose the platform wisely with software costs in mind.

Now why didn’t I think of that? He should ask one of his future instructors, or a current student.

Thank you all. I am going to be reading this all day! I hope I did not start any kind of flame war. Just trying to do what is best and practical.
We are waiting for the letter scheduling orientation. That will be when we can get more info on recommendations from the school. However, many of his peers are using the Macs. I am thinking that if it will be necessary down the road, I would rather get it now, instead of a PC now and then a Mac later. The money is an issue for me, but I have to look long term.
