Apple IIc?
A lot of people seem to want to know what the law school campus is like in terms of Mac laptop users. They are everywhere. I recall that more than half of the students raised their hands when asked, "who of you are Mac users?" in an all-class meeting. The entire campus is extremely Mac friendly, and students can take exams on Mac versions of the examination software.
No love for Linux just yet. Bottom line--if you want that Mac for law school, "git er done!"
I was lucky from the git... I knew exactly what laptop features *I* required for law school:
(1) has to be a tablet;
(2) has to be under 1500 (total, including any extra service plans--there went the ThinkPad);
(3) has to be fly;
(4) has to be quiet.
There are tons of other features that I wanted, but most laptops come with them as pretty standard features; e.g., >150gig hard-drive, wifi, other basics, dvd burner, et al. I ended up with the HP TX2500z, a burning hot, LOUD, tablet that was under my 1500 max, and with which I am very happy.
If YOU are considering a tablet PC, I suggest Tablet PC Review.
