I find this interesting. Among my friends (I am in college) they are all disappointed that apple doesn't update their hardware as frequently as other companies. To non tech savvy people to wait 6 months to buy a new product is unheard of. They will just go out an buy the top of the line android tablet that came out days ago since they don't want to by a 5 month old device from Apple.
Really? 5 month is too old for a college student?
When I was in college I had a desktop, I so badly wanted a laptop but I didn't, because I was a broke college student. I didn't want to put it on my college loans.
