You know, we do ban trolls here...
Seriously, the MacBook Pro is a professional laptop, not something you'd expect to give to an elementary school or even high school kid.
The MacBook is more intended for that market, and lower priced.
And what you DO get for buying a Mac is the best computer for your money.

Screw the grade school kids, this college student needs a new one.
My Ubuntu disks should actually be here in the mail this week.

Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux based off Debian. They are doing a really good job of making a very useable desktop Linux offering.
