The Mac I use is a few years old and available secondhand for under $500. You can get the same CPU/GPU in an iPad which is available, brand new, for $600. I think that's a reasonable price for a school computer.

You can buy a PC running Linux or Windows that stomps that for the same price, new.

Macs are over priced for what you get.
