Agreed. Go with Mac. For all the reasons already mentioned and more. I am also a teacher and have been running our schools 1:1 notebook program as we plan to start rolling out around 300 macbooks next year. Of the 10 or more schools looking at 1 notebook for every student 9 are using MacBook.

So it's probably a good career move to become familiar with the Mac OS. Make sure you get an education discount as well. If you get along well with your boss at school you could even purchase it through the school as you can get the base model 13.3 inch screen white MacBook for $999 plus gst. If that's the case speak to Paul Reed at Winthrop computers
