Laptops

[connatic]

Looking around the room at YAPC, I see Mac laptops are about half the total, with lots of Dells, ThinkPads and HPs as well. That's quite a departure from OSCON last year, where the vast majority had Apple laptops. In fact, a typical Starbucks in New York City will have a larger proportion of Macs.

I'll try and find out the reason - OSCON has more West Coast people; it is also more expensive. Both of those things could explain the difference.
