MTDad777 asks what an IBM (now Lenovo) laptop can’t do that a macbook can. The very short answer is nothing and it comes down to personal preference. I support macos, linux and windows operating systems at work and find productive people on all three. Personally, I just find windows very awkward to use and Vista worse than XP. The ilife applications on the mac (and their pro version upgrades) are, I think, far better than anything in the windows world. As to free downloadable programs, that can be a greater source of mischief than benefit. What specific application do you need for a mac that you can’t get?

But I digress. Each student should get information from their school as to the appropriate computer for their needs.
