I'm becoming a very large Mac fan the more time I spend at college. Last year a girl I was seeing had a (at the time) top of the line 12' powerbook. I plan on eventually investing in one myself, as soon as I can scrounge up the cash.
Recently my father won a brand new iPod 40 gig player and a trip to Las Vegas for hitting 180% over his target. Needless to say he went to Vegas and to the dislike of my brother, gave me the iPod.
I was skeptical of the price compared to other mp3 players, figuring people were paying just for a name, and not for supreme quality. But damn. I've had it for about a week now and I'm completely blown away at how well this is engineered. The menu's are well thought out, the scroll wheel is the best touch device I've ever seen. The whole package is slick, right down to the packaging.
For my current standing as an undergrad college student staring down years of masters/doctoral work, Mac is starting to really win me over.
Also I witnessed a friend drop a 10 gig version 3 ipod down a flight of cement stairs. She picked it up, it still was playing. I've yet to hear any complaints or complications from her about it. Unreal.
Cheers to mac.
Anyone else feel that the iMac is just a laptop with the screen turned inside out, and a silly stand glued to the back? :P
