You would be surprised if you buy a large quantity for education “I guess one thing know-it-all doesn’t know is that new Apple laptops are never as inexpensive as $700.”

I'm attending college right now and sometimes professors just give links to online versions of our textbook which side-steps the significant cost of texts book (like average 60-$100+) but at the same time brings up a problem of reading the textbook on a computer screen. At least in my experiences, either reading Course Reserves or actual textbooks, I can read for hours out of textbooks studying without my eyes wiggin' out whereas if I was reading it on the computer screen I could hardly do it longer than 45 minutes. Maybe its just me. It’ll be very interesting to see how this all pans out.

Man I wish! Sounds like an interesting idea, not sure how the students would use them as text books but I certainly would’ve preferred using a MacBook in lesson. # () [...] [...] A school in Louisiana is getting rid of text books and giving it’s students MacBooks.
