Mom and Dad are going to buy...
the college computer and they are going to look at the price point above all. There are a lot that are naive enough to buy the overpriced PC the school is selling or suggesting. Does the high school brand matter. Not even. Most kids couldn't tell you what brand they are even using let alone want one just like it when they go to school.

Apple already tried filling schools with kit hoping to get them to buy Apple when they went off to college. I doubt the huge cost was even close to being worth it.

Computers are commodities these days and brand is less and less important.
