<p>I was thinking about this the other day. In intro psych, I looked around the lecture hall and counted. Roughly 20% of the computers being used to take notes were macs. The people I know who use macs hardly ever need to take their computer to IT. If you have a serious problem with your computer, there’s an apple store in Richmond that you can get a ride too. The people at the Apple store are way more knowledgeable than any IT person. I guess it’s nice, as someone mentioned, to be able to get a new keyboard if you break yours, but seriously, why are you breaking your computer keyboard? Why are you spilling things on your computer?</p>
<p>It takes half of the professors multiple tries to turn on the projection screens in class to show things from the computer. This “fully integrated” computers into the classroom experience idea is not going to happen for quite awhile. If you absolutely need something that you can’t use on your mac, there are a bunch of computer labs you can use. Or, you can buy Windows and run that, and all its programs, on your new mac also.</p>
<p>If you’re a mac person, stick with your mac.</p>
