IIRC they had some partnership with apple, thats why most of the students have macbooks.

I tried OneNote and frankly paper is much easier.

Only downside is my handwriting stinks. Being able to rearrange your notes and have them look nice is kinda cool.

The worst part about onenote is that your handwritten notes wont sync to your mobile devices, from my use anywya.

Truthfully, a Macbook Pro isn't that much more expensive than a high quality PC laptop. They're great to type on, they turn on instantly, and have fantastic battery life. I know that would be my choice for school.

Macbook Pro's have fairly poor battery life compared to an equivalent pc, a Thinkpad X220 gets considerably longer batter life than a MBP 13 with the exact same cpu and gpu.

The only class I brought my laptop to was World History. No formulas, no charts of data, and no downloadable presentations - just lots of notes.
My writing is horrifically slow compared to my typing speed, so I ended up missing material just because I couldn't keep up. And my hand hurt by the end of the class.

Typing: Much better. Both hands can be used to record information, and the time to transcribe each letter is significantly less. Plus the enter semester's worth of notes only takes up a tiny portion of a hard drive, rather than comparatively large sheets of paper. :p (I've come to hate paper - it's terribly inefficient as a data storage medium. Unfortunately, electronic tablets still haven't entirely supplanted it.)

I have the same picture, just a slightly different view. I wonder who has the view of the right side of the room?

Reminds me of the time, we taped a class and panned out to the audience. We had to reshoot the footage because there were too many upskirts in the shot.
But damn that is a lot of macs. There had to be some deal with apple for students to change the percentages that much.

I'm sure the professor has always enjoyed his perspective.

It was an apple that Adam bit into that created first sin.

I'm young, yet rational. Sorry to break it to you.

Working for an university IT department, we get more calls about $1200 Macs fucking shit up than we do about $380 toshibas.

Maybe because no one is using the Toshibas anymore?

When I meant "toshibas", I really meant windows computers that cost less than half of the cost of a Mac. :colbert:

I understood that perfectly. Fewer and fewer people are using PCs in school. Even if it's an extreme example, the picture in the OP seems to validate this.

/never bought a Mac

Original picture, down one, right two or three, that's not a Mac.

Sluggo's, front row, in from left, first occupied seat, not a Mac.

Let's play find the non-Macs!

If they're hot, there's no such thing as too many upskirts. :awe:

This by no means is a blemish on Apple, you negate the factor of user error
