| A big reason students get Mac’s is because they don’t run into multimedia errors. Once you get hooked up to the juice that is university broadband, you will no doubt be watching more youtube, downloading more music, and so on (cough adult videos cough) than ever before. Mac’s in this narrow capacity kind of carry the day as they troubleshoot really easily via the force quit function. Also, the only two things you really need in college are Word and the internet, so this again favors the simplicity of Mac’s.
Jump disks are a must though. You don’t want to have to be dragging you computer around everywhere in bad weather. |
