My daughter is a junior in college and just finished up an 8 week internship at PWC. They just offered her a job and she just picked up a Surface. She has always been a Mac fan, and has been exposed to a Mac Pro that my son has and numerous Windows configurations in desktops and laptops at home. That being said, she worked with enough of her coworkers using the surface that she decided its ease of use and portability was the best option for her. Since buying it last week, she loves it. And its cheap ($350). At that price, you can take it to lectures and leave the laptop at the dorm. I've got 4 children, 3 of them that need laptops. My son has had a Mac Pro for over 2 years and he is now considering windows as his new one. Not sure why, but I thinks its more value for what you get. He is also immensely talented in computer science and will be majoring in this at college. In his spare time, he has done all my IT work at my office and has it running flawless where others have failed. He has dual operating systems on all of our computers at home if that matters. I think the division of Mac vs Windows laptops narrows with each year. He replaced the entire case of his Mac a few months ago to repair a nasty dent. One thing about those aluminum cases is as much as they are beautiful, they look terrible when a dent or scratch happens. His was in his backpack and he set it down apparently to hard (it was padded). The entire corner got dented and the screen couldn't even close. After completely gutting the Mac, It was impressive how well made they are. Even the inside brackets and supports are aluminum. Can't fault the quality, but you certainly pay for it.
