MacBook has a program that records everything.
MacBook automatically connects to school network when in range.
MacBook sends records.

Yes then they wonder why they aren't getting anything from my system.

Yes you turn them in at the end of the year. Then next year I'll have to pay another fourty! Yay![/QUOTE]
Make a new partition, install Linux.

Not if you delete the program that monitors
Also, ITT: OP Rages about getting cheap ass macbook and hasn't the slightest clue what the school can and can't monitor.
OH NO THEY GAVE YOU A CHEAP LAPTOP FDJK:DSFSD OH NOOOO!
God are you just retarded?
Be happy that you got something for that cheap, they could have just took your money and told you to fuck off.

Uh, school would notice one of the laptops wasn't checking in with the master server?

What if it doesn't work like that?
[QUOTE=Fishyfish vz. 3;16348174]Apple S on reboot, make new admin account[/QUOTE]
heheheh I'm so trying that
[QUOTE=HubmaN;16348289]What if it doesn't work like that?[/QUOTE]
uh, 99% chance it does... as the laptops send data to the master server about what OP did on it anyway?
Boohoo the school gave me a laptop for only $40 and it isn't the one one I wanted.
Baww more. You got a decent laptop for schoolwork, stop bitching.
[QUOTE=HubmaN;16348289]What if it doesn't work like that?[/QUOTE]
Your average School monitoring system will display if something isn't connected.
Can you take them home?
Also, I totally understand why the school went with macs. People somehow tend to get viruses on their windows pcs and everything never works, so, yeah. Macs, less viruses.

Linux gets even less viruses.
OP is probably 13-14.
[QUOTE=BackflipHatchetAttack;16348092]Before the end of last year, they announced everyone in the school would be getting a laptop, for only $40. I thought hey that's pretty cool, it must've cost alot of money for them!
So we get a letter in the mail, saying everyone had to go pick up thier laptops.
So I go. I get there, sign the papers/payed money, and some dude hands me a [b]MacBook Pro[/b]. I about fucking raged right there. And if that wasn't bad enough, we had to go watch some shitty video about what we can (mostly CAN'T) do with them. They proceed to tell us that everything we do on the computer is recorded, and when we connect to the school's network, everything is sent to the admin(s). And the final part, some bitch lady from Apple talks to us about how we cannot install ANYTHING on them. A simple game? No. FIREFOX? NO!
I must have been thinking they got these for REALLY cheap. Nope. They said they paid $1300 for each one. What. The. Fuck. I was thinking they could have gotten Windows PC's for half as much, and it would be better.
When I got home I look at the FREAKING CRAZY ASS SPECS YEAH LOOK AT THESE:
2GB RAM
2GHz Processor
NVidia GeForce 9400M
CRAZY AWESOME HUH!? SHITTY POWER, [i]AND[/i] NO APPLICATIONS! FUN HUH?!
(In before whining about how they're "free")[/QUOTE]
You're a spoiled little kid.
Yeah, I understand the fact that they're school laptops. What I don't understand is why they just didn't get Windows PC's, and why we can't do anything on them.
Here comes more dumbs.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Yeah, I am 13 by the way. I hate how you guys think all kids my age are freaking retards. I'm actually more smart than most people in my grade. All these things where this dumb teen does something equally dumb. Oh hey they did something stupid I guess all teens are stupid, right? Plus you guys aren't that much older than me if you think of it that way.

If you're running linux, that program won't run. Simple as that.

Linux would also confuse the fuck out of everyone that got one of the laptops.

Because macs have better support and get less viruses?

Apple probably offers more aggressive discounts for the education market than other companies who care fuck-all about the education segment.
I don't understand why you can't modify anything, though, that part's rather ridiculous.
[QUOTE=abigserve;16348119]Format, install linux on a partition, profit.[/QUOTE]
Technically, OSX = linux.
ITT: OP is just another fanboy.
OP needs to learn that you should like a product for what it's capable of, not what logo it has on it outside of it. Macbooks are 10x sleeker than any windows-based PC. If they weren't so god damned expensive I'd have one right now.

you're a fucking spoiled idiot, you should dig your grave and lay down and die right away, safari is one of the top explorers out there.
i must say that your school was dumb for thinking higher price is better performance, but i think they will be usefull in media class.
applications? you just gotta be less conservative to see that the apps are there and cover much of the stuff that you would have tu buy for windows.
you wouldn't have had any user rights over a EEE pc either so stop bitching about that, make an alt get a fresh start at FP.
[QUOTE=BackflipHatchetAttack;16348185]My point is, why did they pay $1300 for these Macs, when they could have spent $500 and gave us PCs, that are of equal or more power?[/QUOTE]
Probably because they figured you idiots would find it harder to fuck up a Mac than a PC. Seriously, $40 for a fucking Macbook Pro is an absolute bargain. Sure, you can't install shit on it but so what? It's for school and you wouldn't have been allowed to install stuff on a PC either if they gave them to you for $40.
Long story short, you have literally no good reason to be whining.
