[quote=Anonymous]I'm not really a fan of Apple for a number of reasons, but the winning feature for Mac laptops is the battery life. They are actually usable for an entire day and then some without needing to be re-charged. If the student actually needs this, then it really is a strong selling point. The downside is that Apple hardware tends to not be easily or inexpensively repairable, and the current generation of laptops is completely non-upgradable, so you need to make sure that you buy them with the amount of storage and RAM that you will need. Also, the batteries (like all rechargeable batteries) will eventually fail to hold a charge, and they are effectively not user-replaceable parts. The best PC laptop options would be business-grade models (Lenovo T-series, Dell Latitude 5- and 7-series). These may be good choices if battery life is less of a concern (figure on about six hours or so of use).[/quote]
