I recall CS grad school 10 years ago as being a sea of Macbooks…
- Jyaif 5y agoIt depends on where you studied. In my CS class 11 years ago in France, MacBooks represented approximately 2% of the population.

- yoz-y 5y agoWhen I studied CS 15-11 years ago in France, nobody had laptops in class. All practical work was done in a computer lab. I still find it weird to see a picture of a lecture hall and a sea of computers. What do people do with them? This aside, in the dorm Macs were maybe 10-20% with a healthy amount of mac hating.
