Meet a student in the Czech Republic who uses exclusively products from Applu is an almost superhuman task. In my opinion, the problem is not so much the availability of devices but rather the price. Computers and Apple products in general are more expensive in the country and therefore less widespread. But how is it in a country where they are Apple products almost a religion?
The biggest shock for a domestic student is certainly the fact that some universities in America (Stanford, Seton Hill, etc.) give out apple products to students at the beginning of their studies completely free of charge. Previously, universities only gave out Macbookand Macbooky pro, or iPod Touch, however, after the introduction of the iPad, interest in the Touch is starting to decline. It is quite logical, the iPad runs on the same OS but thanks to a much larger screen, it is an ideal work and entertainment tool for students.
An interesting answer to the question "Why the iPad?" came from Stanford University, specifically from the Faculty of Medicine. The management there believes that iPads can make not only life easier for students, but also their school bag due to their size and weight. Students don't have to find textbooks and scripts, they get an iPad with recorded learning material. It's always easier to carry one device than a bunch of books.
It's only a matter of time before universities start giving out a new type of Macbooků AirThese super-thin subnotebooks should become a hit among students, primarily due to their design, speed, and durability.
According to Fortune magazine, in 2010 it chose Macbook almost 50% of American students. This figure represents a huge increase, for example, in 2005 the Dell brand topped the student popularity chart, and had almost the same share among students then as it does today Apple (47%).
Unfortunately, we will probably never see that in the Czech Republic :)
I am in my first year at the University of Toledo. Exactly as mentioned in the article, around half of the people here have it Apple. More precisely Macbook pro 13 inch. I think there's a campaign every year from June to early September, where they give you $100 off and a $200 coupon for an iPod touch. Lately, iPads have started to appear here, but mostly in the hands of Asian students, especially from China. They usually carry those in their pockets. iPhone as the only one. (99% of all foreigners at American universities are rich) Most American students at this university want a "smartphone" and because AT&T is the only operator that has iPhone so everyone has Android, but if you ask them if they would like iPhone So answer yes.
Well, I'd like to see that, I don't even get free textbooks, let alone laptops :-)
Well, it seems simple to me, big school = lots of money, lots of music...
Unfortunately not, it is, however, quite a logical reasoning. A basic iPad costs €500, if textbooks are uploaded to it, it will last the student for the entire duration of his studies, regardless of the wider possibilities of work and use. With the prices of the books, it has to pay for itself.
Thor> Pay out... :D on the other hand, if you throw a bag with a textbook, nothing happens nestno, if you throw it with an iPad, it will at least make you angry
xxx I don't know about you, but when I have a notepad in my bag, I never throw it away and it didn't even occur to me... on the other hand, it's true with the iPad and textbooks, I've long dreamed of it being done like this, but we have to to realize that we have to be sure that the textbooks will be in electronic form :) I think it would save a lot of stress for the publishers, but the school would not save by any chance because the textbooks are not even in electronic form for free... it requires the first step from textbook publishers, Czech textbooks
I agree with what Squierrel wrote, the school costs me a lot of money and it is not a declared University. I bet from Stanford and a school of the type that stands at least $15000 per semester, so it won't kill the school if the student gives a "discount" of $500
that ROMAN: crowns? i suppose so I guessed it almost correctly
God, why are we still talking about the price? Either as a student you buy a PC NB for 20 or Apple for 20 +- So what are you dealing with? That you won't buy MBP in the bloated version? Maybe a little humility.
Petr Sonnesnchein: New Macbook white for 20? Get it for me, I'll take it immediately...
When you talk about school, the word "exceptional" is just "exception" when Y is long and I is short :)
Jiří Bicek: rainbow service - MB white 20100 CZK (without tax - it can be written off).
