Technology Mac or PC?

I suspect your school simply wanted you to be able to run Windows, which you could've done on a Mac.

That is absolutely true, though I am pretty happy with having gotten windows for free with the computer for school stuff and running ubuntu for free for everything else. Running windows on a mac, while sometimes a necessary evil, just seems so wrong to me!

Again, that was a 2-y/o machine. Currently, HP only offers one laptop with more than a 10-hr. battery life (18 hrs.) Not sure if it's their top-of-the line machine, but it looks suspiciously like a MacBook.

yep, that't the one. The "slice" battery makes the laptop as thick as a laptop from 10 years ago. I can't believe they have the face of being proud of it....

Not to spoil the ending, but he wound up switching back to the Mac again.

thanks for that.
