[QUOTE="slashjunior, post: 328544, member: 23667"] I still think Macs are more popular in the US. Here in the UK I have seen about 4 people in total using Macs around university. That is a definate improvement, a few years ago I doubt I would have seen any Macs. I have found my MacBook great. It is small and light and easily fits in my bag with the sleeve covering it. It is also really quick to start up, so no messing around waiting for it to boot, plus the power cable is much nicer, it doesn't seem to get really tangled, and it is useful being able to shorten it. Alternatively you could temporarily put it to sleep between classes. The mag-safe power is also very useful for presentations, so if you have to trail your leads then you will know it won't damage the cable if a clumsy person trips over the cables. I also find MS Office Student Teacher Edition is also very useful for obvious reasons. Saying that though, I do like using Keynote to create presentations when possible because it is just so refreshing from all the boring tired Powerpoint presentations. As far as note taking goes, I still prefer the old pen and paper method. One, I can't type the fastest, and two, I easily get distracted. [/QUOTE]
