Reliability, security, good battery life, they can share chargers cos many of them have macbooks, VERY light and easy to carry around, they are fairly robust and will last them the whole uni.

    AmyThePerson, 30 Oct 2018that price... are they insane. Don't they target these at ... moreHardly... and I don't see why a student would buy a Mac as opposed to any $200-$300 laptop. There's nothing you _need_ a Mac for, that's just what Apple wants you to think.

      that price... are they insane.
      Don't they target these at students? what kind of student can afford this.. it's 1300$ for 256GB. I bought my ASUS UX 430ua for 800$ and the new 8th gen version for the same price has 4 cores not 2 :\

            Anonymous, 30 Oct 2018Dell has 4K screen laptops that they say to last 14h. Any windows laptops, like dell asus, microsoft, cut in half what they say..so 7hours
            Apple always are 90-100% accurate...so you will get 11-12 hours for sure with light usage

              Did they add one more usb-c port this year? What innovation, what boldness. Oh wait, most windows 2in1s have more than 3 ports.

                        Pay more to get locked in. No possibility to repair or upgrade. Think different.

                          Dual Core 8th Gen. Core i5? So, not core I, Core Y or Core M. Bad.
