Actually, most people have Macs. I KNOW someone will come along behind me and post some statistic about how it’s actually 50-50 or something, but trust me, if you can afford it, just buy a Macbook through SCI (the student computer initiative). It’s so much easier having a Mac, a) because you can always borrow someone else’s power cord and b) they seriously don’t break as often. My friend bought a Dell from SCI this September and has had to take it to OIT (the IT help desk) 4 times since then. I bought a Macbook through SCI freshman year and haven’t had problems with it. Ever. And yes, it’s easier to just buy it through SCI because it comes already hooked up to the Princeton network and with all the software you need. It’s also a pretty good price.
