<p>I completely agree with ALF. As an incoming freshman, I find it a bit offensive that I’ve essentially just been lumped into this category of uninformed buyer attempting to be some sort of hipster. I want a Mac because they work. All throughout high school I’ve had unreliable computers that get viruses or slow down and end up needing to get repaired. Guess where that puts my school work? On the back-burner where I have to figure out another way to get things done. I don’t want to deal with that in college, and from reading reviews, testing Macs myself, and the opinions of a lot of other people, I’ve decided it’s worth the initial money. We’re not idiots, us “kids these days,” maybe we’re just thinking ahead seeing as we’d like something that will last the next four years. It may be a new trend but who cares?</p>
