Apple Scores Big in Maine with MacBooks

I always think that Apple MacBooks are expensive and they are not ideal for education for students. Well, it seems that the government of Maine do not agree with me and it is fine. They have decided that students studying in public schools should get laptops and for this they are going for MacBooks. Students from the 7^th grade to the 12^th grade will get a laptop.

It is a good initiative from Maine but I wonder why they did not go for OLPC. OLPC laptops are very cheap and they can really help to bridge the digital divide everywhere including USA.
