As for your own preference, itz a matter of taste!!!
What Apple does not make in profit from the mass sale to school districts, they make in sales to the general public ....
With all the Windows programs out there, the PCs can all run the same ...
I remember when Commodore 64 and PET were the computers of choice for schools, and I had to get my daughter one. |
It depends on your school district I guess that wasn't the case with the philadelphia school district Mac's were preferred not cheaper. In college the design schools had mac's in the lab the business school had pc's. Your choice is based on your preference and your need.
