Probably in the same school districts which also happen to have a mall
with an Apple store nearby, i.e. to quote Apple lingo: "an upscale mall
in an upscale area".

I would say that means this will lead to a two-class system in American
education, i.e. those schools with snazzy Macs and those with boring
Dells. But come on. Hasn't this always been an inherent part of American
school system? Better funded and better equipped schools in the richer
school districts, less well-equipped schools where the "po folk" live?
