I think it is because the teacher/professors are not particularly computer literate (Apple is for people who don't want to know they have a computer) but it does put the kids at a disadvantage when they get out in the world and find out most businesses run Windows. I continue to find your comments about Apple computers and their owner/operators laughable, especially since I know a few high-level programmers who work almost exclusively with Apple computers. The "most businesses that run windows" are simply running apps that run under windows, and many of the same apps run under the apple OS. You think that the Microsoft Office Suite, probably the most popular and commonly found "business app" anywhere gives a **** whether it is running under windows or apple OS? \ You can't deny that the machine on your desk will be Wintel if you are in most businesses. So? McDonalds still sells mass quantities of ****ty burgers. Apple's selling point is ease of use. You've said that yourself. I'm something of an "PC expert,' and when asked for my recommendation for a laptop for a college student, I always recommend Apple if the person can afford it. It's just easier to use for the neophyte. But that thinking may be dated now. It's not a disadvantage for future work however, since Apple and Wintel are virtually the same, except for the price. Apple sure gets its brand name out there among newscasters, with the Apple logo often in prominent view on their desks. ****ing effete snobs. Apple is fine until you want to do something Apple didn't think you would do. Henc, my formerly Apple loving Dutch neighbor showed up with a Samsung Note and when I asked him why the change of heart, he said his "I-phone would not run his drone" Nobody has said anything specific that favors Apple over Wintel, so I'll no longer recommend them for college students - though that hasn't happened for about 10 years. Wintel laptops have greatly improved since then. My son says iPhones are easier to learn how to use and update. But he has a Samsung Android. Apple is wonderful if you want to what Steve thought you wanted to do but that is the "cult" part. If you want to control your experience you want Windows If you really just want to crunch data (up to music files), run DOS. |
