Guessing that the uni in question has a deal with apple - teaching at a uni with a Lenovo deal, most lectures look exactly like this but with a different logo on the laptops
Apple was also hitting student deals pretty hard at that time if I remember correctly. They’ve targeted students since nearly inception.
They’re also journalist students. I’m not saying apple is the end-all-be-all, but at the time (and at least in my company still) a lot of graphics people use macs
We always had a few when I worked in international marketing who insisted on Apple when they started. However our IT guys were Win/Linux only and told them that they were on their own if they got an apple. Most of them lasted 6 months before transitioning a windows machine because of constant issues and no support.
Many of them were barely tech literate and only used an apple because everyone else in college used them. They had network of people to help them fix their issues.
Yeah, that’s what I was trying to get at. Apple was (and maybe still is I’m just not in the ecosystem) pushing really hard for the younger generation to have experience in their OS. Including donating devices to schools

Laptops were mandatory; MacBooks were all but mandatory.

The creative workflow on MacOS is unbeatable - gestures and workspaces and all the little bells and whistles.
