Few are the college students I know that can actually afford it. I myself just paid 200.00 for a textbook and 50.00 for a parking permit.

Well at least you're picking a good brand, not that it means much.

I support this; the only way to effectively brainwash is to start them young. I've seen 2 and 3 year olds on the subway playing with iPhones and they're already experts (not that they have to learn much; I guess that's why it's good for the masses) and they're the Apples of their iParents.

Yeah, must be good to know that 2 year olds and even Orang Utans can use the same technology as you, a grown up man. So much for "smartphone", Apple takes the "smart" out of that word.

Im sorry it hard to not think anyone who brings in a iPad to a college class is a d-bag. Just watching them awkwardly type out there notes on a fingerprint covered screen is sad. Honestly maybe reading a textbook on the iPad would be nice, but really is it worth an additional 600$ to be able to do that?

I smell jealously from Android fans in this article.

Why would we be jealous when even after the discounts (Ok, not really discounts, more like money back), it still cost the same as a high end Asus or HP? The specs of Macbooks are still mediocre compared to PC high ends and don't even get me started on OSX.

I'm a Senior in high school and was think in about buying a MacBook Pro. For a 15" screen, its like $1,600. Wtf?
I can customize a Windows laptop with quad core i7, W7 Ultimate, and a nice SSD for around $1,200. That extra $400 can go towards my books, which aren't cheap.
Macs are overpriced and are not worth the money.

thank you for this post - the iDIOTS are blinded by loyalty for a product over value of a product.
