Have fun watching your OS boot and run slower and slower every week.


Have fun paying double for the same hardware, and have fun not being able to run any software unless you get it from your "special" store, and have fun not being able to work on your computer's insides without giving it to the Apple Corporation to hold hostage (Unless you're into voided warranties), and have fun with that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, the one that tells you you're a hipster faggot.

I'm not sure if I'd buy an iMac, but for most students, a Macbook > a Windows laptop if they can afford it.


Actually, just about anything running windows > Macbook because:
-Students are poor, and Mac's charge more to make you feel special.
-Students are either just going to be taking notes or writing essays, in which case you want Microsoft Word (The real one, not the shitty Mac port)...
-...Or they're taking some programming classes, in which case AH HAHAHAHAHA @ Macs.
-Students leik vidya gaemz.

OS X is already sharper when it comes to most casual tasks,


Casually not running most software.

but this multi-touch keyboard technology is leaps beyond what Windows notebooks are offering when you don't have a mouse laying around.


If you don't have a mouse laying around, you don't get to use your computer. Touchpads suck, and nothing Apple can do to them will fix that.

The battery life is second to none as well. I have a Macbook Pro, but the regular Macbooks now have these features as well since the newest revision and they cost 999$/ 949$ with student discount, which isn't too bad.


Clearly, you've never been a student. And it's $1049, not $999.

Oh and if you really can't live without some Windows-only software, you can just install Windows.


Genius. I'll be overcharged for my hardware, and then I'll have to separately buy an OS that actually runs software I want. Where do I sign up lol?
