First off, I would like to state that I have no laptop. In today's world, what's the use? With more upgrades, new software, new hardware, and all the add-ins, I figure at this point in my life, I'll let CLU pick up the bill and use the library computers.
However, in my lifetime, I have unquestioningly used Apple computers - and loved them. It helps that ever since I was 6 or 7, my family has had a Macintosh computer. In my academic career however, PCs have ruled. So I have had influences from both sides. And I still love macs.
Sure, they are more expensive.... but does that really matter to the average college student. I'm already loaning tens of thousands of dollars, whats an extra 3 or 4 grand to get a reliable computer that would last longer than a PC? I think that when it comes down to it, there is a very distinctive type of person that would buy an Apple versus buying a PC.
The person that would buy the Apple is more future-oriented, wants reliability, and knows that AppleCare will take care of everything. The PC buyer is looking for the quick-fix-now solution, and solely looking for the cheapest thing on the market.
(Side Note: Costco will replace your iPod with a new, better one... for free! more on my love/hate relationship with costco later....)
macs rule :D
