The MacBook Air being ridiculously noncompetitive and the recent hike in price for the MacBook and the MacBook Pro totally changed the college laptop market. For the last 10 years+ almost everyone in CS had a Mac from the start or bought one along the way. I'm starting to think this trend will end due to the price hike. That means that a bunch of new students will use WSL instead of doing their Linux based homework using MacOS *NIX utilities. Adding native LaTeX support in word further makes the platform very attractive for that kind of demographic. When looking at SV, I see most startups and devs working with Macs. This makes sense as it was probably on Macs that the earliest version of their product was developed. Often the Mac version is the first class version of the app and the windows port often an afterthought. Just look at Node.js that was originally a Mac/Linux exclusive. I think Microsoft want to change that.
