I do not think 128 bit, is meant the way you mention it, (security)
although do correct me if i am wrong
You are right, I think he is confused with encryption level.

Is the 20% off for the campus computer store, or for all Apple stores? I'm a university student too, and 20% off an expensive Mac Pro would be awesome. And it applies to all Apple laptops?The macbook on the other hand would be (including iWork) $1250.00 (Since I`m going to university apple has this promotion on where I get about 20% off and get a free iPod Touch)

Oh maybe Canada doesn't have the 20% off promotion then? These look like regular prices to me:
Oh I see, it applies to Canada too? I'll call my campus store later to check.Apple gives every student and employee for a valid educational organization a 10% flat discount. Anything beyond the 10% would be a deal the university or school has done.
Well I thought you where saying that was a security feature they where adding, As far as them creating a 128 bit system, That would be cool, it won't really matter cause so will apple and the Linux distro's will release one two. Lets just hope that if they create a 128 bit system it isn't like when MS gave us the 64 bit system aka vista.
I'm not really sure what you're basing this on? I'm sure you've had years of experience to which you base you're claim [Said in sarcastic tone while noting you're only 16]
Macs are a bit more expensive if you look at raw computing power, but that's not what they sell. They're selling you a product that's going to last for years on end. They're selling you the ability to take you're laptop to any Apple Store and not have to ship it in the mail and get lost in the shuffle. The battery life on the Macs is excellent. They actually get close to what they claim. If you get a 12cell battery it's usually bigger and heavier. Try to find a laptop that delivers the usability and power of a Mac in the same size. It won't happen. I searched for a month before purchasing. Size and weight were big considerations due to traveling on a deployment.
As one person pointed out his laptops are disposible, but Macs actually have a resell value and you can usually get $1000 off a used MBP.
Windows 7 is a great operating system. I love it. I usually keep it on my MBP as well. There's a lot of things that Microsoft has derived from OS X.
Am I being biased because I own a Mac? You may think so, but I'm just trying to point out the benifits and hate when people flat out say Macs suck without substantiating their claim.

What a stupid statement to say Macs are no good, obviously you have never used one
to it's full intention
I have used every Mac since the old MacPlus
Best computer produced bar none !you couldn't do good graphics on a PC.
I could give an infinite amount of reasons to not get a mac. I own one. It is complete GARBAGE. I'm not being bias like you think I am, (Since I'm just some 16 year old whose opinion doesn't matter apparently) but I will never waste money on a Mac again. Period.
I will say in his defense that at least he has owned a Mac unlike some of the people that argue on this subject. Now if he wanted some respect with his comment then I would say they he can call them garbage but he should support it with some facts.
I like apple and it took me to play around on one while I was fixing a buddies window pc and need to use the mac to get drivers from the internet. But I hated apple for years cause I used the first imac's in public school and they where so slow, they may have never froze and crashed like windows but sometimes the length of time it took them to do some task Windows was still faster with the crash.
But Since intel and nvidia came into the picture they have pretty good performance. The price still way to high. And with Apple there are a few thing where they are behind like not offering bluray, which wouldn't be bad if itune video was 1080p but from what I read online there only 720p.
I have a mac laptop that is useless to me, and my parents have an iMac. So don't tell me I have never used one.
No I firmly believe that the first imac's just sucked. I remember using actual Macintosh computers and they ran smooth with no hardware failure. The imac's always gave the spinning beach ball and where always breaking. The school system eventually switched over to Dell and they ran much smoother and far more reliable.
I do understand the a personal computer over a school system computer will run much better but what I am saying is that there where some systems that ran better then others.
