I'm not asking which is better, just which is generally used at the university. |

Depends on personal preference Thomas!! And if you're willing to shell out $1500 for a laptop...
Also depends what you're using it for, how you're using it etc.

By the school, you'll find both at Mills Library.
By students, what does it matter? lol

Through my 2 years at Mac, except for the profs who use the lecture room computer or my Comp Sci 1TA3 prof, all my other profs used Macs. I'd say it's close to 75%.
I know Thode is filled with Macs, but I haven't seen any other libraries with Macs in them.
And as for students, maybe it's just because they stand out more, but it seems like a lot more students have Macs than Windows laptops.

PC's are the most popular at McMaster amongst students. Although more and more students are now becoming Mac users. Anecdotal source of course.
Also libraries are different. Thode uses Macs, Mills + Health Sci Library uses windows.
