Then don't buy an Apple.

They are a premium brand, with premium prices.

Agreed.


And they make no excuses for it. Do you make a fuss and ask a premium automotive brand like Porsche to lower their prices so poor students can buy it? No. And that is why I doubt Apple will ever bring out a subnotebook/netbook under $1000 anytime soon.

if you insist on being a 'student' then get a night job and a bag of crystal meth.the initial outlay for the bag far exceeds the net profits of nightshift penalty rates.....

Bag of meth is an awesome idea! Why didnt I think of that earlier.

Be good at what you do and you'll be rewarded. Even students can get paid enough to buy MacBooks. Take up a tutoring job, a research position, a disabilities notetaker etc. All will pay. Apply for scholarships too.

They're my tips. Students can earn money while studying.
