Laptops for BS

[Princess_Dad]

<p>

I should add, Apple does offer discounts for boarding school students. If you look under their offers for college students, at some point you can get to a screen on which you can specify the school. Our child’s boarding school is listed.</p>

<p>Once we chose the school, the store remembers our school, probably through cookies. I’m sure you could buy laptops for two children, attending two schools, but you may need to call them for directions.

Periwenkle. I am not sure if Apple will “punish you” but you have to “swear” that you are what they offer to. If you note, Boarding school / High School STUDENTS are NOT eligible for the discount while TEACHERS are. COLLEGE STUDENTS are.</p>

<p>Other than that, at my d’s school, 95% had Macs and the IT and school were Macs. I have also heard that Andover may be giving Macs now instead of Dells?</p>

<p>Also, with the new macs, you can start up in Windows instead of MacOS if you have a problem.</p>

<p>One thing my ds like is that with Apple, you have 24/7 phone support (you call and leave your number and they will call you back and talk you through almost any problem) - I don’t think the PCs do that.</p>

<p>The Air is expensive, but VERY light. Problem with it is that you cannot do DVD so need external drive to watch a movie, etc.</p>
