Dan, I noticed more or less the same. Our freshman students' own laptops are most times huge and one of the recurring reason (sometimes we openly ask) is that they want a "real gaming PC". Interestingly though, since they also receive laptops from us when they enroll, 30% of them ends up picking a Macbook over a Lenovo Laptop. I guess Lenovo laptops we provide are not "real gaming" enough, and Apple increases its appeal compared to that. My guess is that often college students want something that mimics as much as possible a desktop pc in terms of screen size, as they assume as Bitt said that they won't be walikng around much with those. But that's just me guessing.
