Doing the Math On the New MacBook

Technologizer writes "Apple's new MacBook is a significantly different machine than its predecessor — a slicker laptop at a higher price point. But does it carry a large price premium over similar Windows PCs? I did a painstaking spec-by-spec comparison versus three roughly comparably-configured Windows machines, and came to the conclusion that the value it offers for price paid is not out of whack with the Windows world." The article uses the phrase "Mac tax," which one commenter points out is a recent Microsoft marketing canard.

seriously though, the largest part of laptops i see at my university (i study computer science) are macbooks. students usually arent that rich, but we usually know what we need more than the usual lets-buy-an-asus-laptop guy.

The universities I visit in the UK -- I have not seen a single Mac in them.

Your lack of correct grammatical usage does not lead me to believe that the education in your university is that great.
