They are all probably pretty much the same. What is much more important is a backup drive. Make sure she backs up using Time Machine to an external drive. And make sure she does it daily, if not several times per day. What is worse than having a laptop stolen is having it stolen along with that important term paper on it. Actually, what I would do is to have her use a DropBox account to store her school documents. Then it acts like a backup as the files will still be there "in the cloud" if her laptop is stolen or breaks. I don’t have any recommendation. They are all probably pretty much the same.
