Mac usage at University
05 08 10
I spotted an interesting quote recently
Of particular note is the data from Univ Virginia which has been compiled over many years.
Year : % Mac
2001: 3%
2002: 4%
2003: 4%
2004: 8%
2005: 13%
2006: 20%
2007: 26%
2008: 37%
2009: 43%
“Chowdhry said 70 percent of college freshman are entering school with Macs”
Unfortunately there is no link to where the actual data comes from, a while back I created a table of links giving details of Mac usage at universities, I thought it might be useful to update the table.
