I bought my niece a new MacBook Air. Her exceptionally poor, rural, Bible belt upbringing hasn’t stopped her from excelling academically. She needs a new computer and her family was going to buy her a $200 chromebook. But she’s off to college in a year and I knew that wouldn’t cut it. Here’s hoping it gets her to graduation.

    Does she do graphic design, or why would an Apple be better than any other brand for half the price?

    Of course a 200$ laptop isn't very usable, but why pay thousands of dollars extra just to have an Apple logo and get the kid introduced to vendor lock-in
