Regional differences.

This is not true in Europe and Asia.

It depends on where you studied. In my CS class 11 years ago in France, MacBooks represented approximately 2% of the population.

When I studied CS 15-11 years ago in France, nobody had laptops in class. All practical work was done in a computer lab. I still find it weird to see a picture of a lecture hall and a sea of computers. What do people do with them?

This aside, in the dorm Macs were maybe 10-20% with a healthy amount of mac hating.
