Mac Sales Get A Shot In The Arm From Maine Schools
Posted by: Arik Hesseldahl on July 01
Good news for Apple on the Mac education sales front. The Maine Department of Education said it has placed an order with Apple for 64,000 MacBooks and will order another 7,000 within the coming week. They’ll be going to students in grades 7 through 12 throughout the state. The machines are being purchased under the auspices of the Maine Learning Technology Initiative, which has provided students in that state with Macs since 2002. More details in the original announcement here. Meanwhile Ars Technica’s Chris Forseman notes that Kansas, Iowa and Louisiana are handing out Macs to students as well.
