Pennsylvania: So far this year, Apple laptop sales at Penn State’s Computer Store accounted for 55 percent of all computer sales, an 11 percent increase over the same time period last year, Kevin Morooney, vice provost for information technology, told The Daily Collegian.
According to a recent survey by a Brooklyn-based research group, SurveyU, Macs are rapidly increasing in popularity. While Dell is still the No. 1 brand among college students, Apple is predicted to become the top brand by the middle of 2008, Daniel Coates, co-founder of SurveyU, told The Daily Collegian.
PCs remain the preferred computer within the College of Engineering, according to recommendations from Penn State’s Computer Store. However, students majoring in film and video, media studies, architecture or visual arts have been encouraged by the College of Communications and the College of Arts and Architecture to use Macs.
