University Students Pose with their Macbook Pros

10 dec 2009

A university in Florida is loaning out 13' Macbook Pro computers to all their student athletes so that they can "keep-up with studies" and download lectures (podcasts) from iTunes while on the move.

You have already seen pictures of university classrooms where Macbook notebooks have a 100% share and here’s another very similar scene.

Students are obviously excited in the photo shoot but according to the rules, these Macbook Pros are on loan so they’ll will have to be returned to the University at the end of every semester. That means students may have to buy another computer as well to carry home during semester breaks.

Liked the idea of “keeping up with studies”, but isn’t it better to allow students to keep the notebooks with them till the end of the course instead of asking them to return it at the end of every semester?

Just wondering how much space will it require for the university to store these.

Alternatively, these notebooks can be made available to students on loan which can be added to annual or semester fees. That means they pay the entire amount in installments equal to the number of semesters and call themselves proud owners of macbook pro.

I hate fanboy pictures like these . Sheesh a macbook is just a laptop , i have one and its not a big deal.
I just hope mac users treat their laptops as computers and not worship it.
