    The Mac I use is a few years old and available secondhand for under $500. You can get the same CPU/GPU in an iPad which is available, brand new, for $600. I think that’s a reasonable price for a school computer.

      You can buy a PC running Linux or Windows that stomps that for the same price, new.

      Macs are over priced for what you get.

      Nah that’s just too much disposable income. If you’re spending more than $200 on anything other than an old Thinkpad to run Linux on, you’re too rich /s

      I mean, does your computer even have a nipple? Didn’t think so. Apple would never be bold enough to #freethenipple 😔
