You know, we do ban trolls here...

Seriously, the MacBook Pro is a professional laptop, not something you'd expect to give to an elementary school or even high school kid.

The MacBook is more intended for that market, and lower priced.

And what you DO get for buying a Mac is the best computer for your money.

a better OS, and fast fast fast hardware?

ok. :mrgreen:

this is one of those few cases where you really do get what you paid for.

but if one is on a budget... enjoy the tax break and install ubuntu.

Screw the grade school kids, this college student needs a new one.

My Ubuntu disks should actually be here in the mail this week.

Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux based off Debian. They are doing a really good job of making a very useable desktop Linux offering.
