and the point to buy a mac as little kid instead of a pc? to listen to music and surf on the internet? pie, you could have used a pc for that as well... i don't really see why a kid needs a mac. not because of the price but as example for school, isn't a pc much better with the programs you have to use there? no clue how school works nowadays but over 10 years ago when i was at school i had to use a lot of pcs and since you also need a pc in most jobs it's probably better to use that all the time. i understand if someone, let's say a designer, prefers a mac for some apple programs or so but as kid you don't use these programs made for adults.

I got my Mac because it works better for the stuff I need it to do. I also got one because I was tired of Windows 7.

But this thread is not about Mac Vs. PC.

sure it's not about mac vs. pc as "what is better in general". like i already said i understand that some people have a better usage for a mac in their job but you said you listen to music and surf on the internet with your mac, that's not really a reason to prefer a mac above a pc if you are at school and could use pc skills for more than just surfing. i believe i had 4 hours informatics at school and it was pretty helpful to have exactly he same programs at home to learn with. but yeah, maybe you don't need to learn to handle all the pc stuff i had to.

I would like to think that American schools would require you to know more about programs and computers, but I don't think they do. I'm pretty sure you just need to know how to print a paper and maybe occasionally a graph or two. Why someone would pay over 1500 for that I don't know. Cetainly don't need a personal laptop age to do school work assuming the household has a desktop.
