using, either system is fine.
Does the college do hardware maintenance ? If not, find out where the closest Apple Store is or your son will have to send the Mac out for repair if something happens to it. Anyone can fix a Dell 8-)!
When a computer is put into a backpack, it gets thrown around a bit, since both have SSD, body integrity is an issue.
Make sure he has an external backup disk to backup his files, music, photos etc., or if he doesn't have a lot of files, use Dropbox or Google Drive (yes, the cloud thing).
You don't want to be called in the middle of the night with your son on the other end saying his computer died on him. I've been called by daughter #1 who was half way around the world, crying on the phone just before final exams, you fill in the blanks.... I told her to go to an Apple Store and get a new one, she had her files on a USB drive and her iPhone, she lucked out.
