    Does she do graphic design, or why would an Apple be better than any other brand for half the price?

    Of course a 200$ laptop isn’t very usable, but why pay thousands of dollars extra just to have an Apple logo and get the kid introduced to vendor lock-in

      Do you know how good those computers are ? They have shitty reparability, but otherwise they are great value.

      A Unix-based system has value far beyond graphic design. A Mac will get software support for many years. The hardware quality and battery life are second to none.
