CC, I use a laptop too, Both in secondry school and now collage!

I had to buy mine though...
I wouldn't recommend a macbook in school, or atleast not secondry school anyway. I used a panasonic toughbook, there expensive, but there litterally bombproof!
Mine cost alot because I had a few "extra" features, including mobile internet and a GPS

It also has a touchscreen

but that was included in the price.
