Maine on Tuesday said it has ordered 64,000 Apple laptops, marking a big win for the Mac maker and a major expansion of the state's technology initiative for middle and high school students.
The massive order stems from the state Department of Education's decision to expand the Maine Learning Technology Initiative into all public high schools. Maine has been providing Apple MacBooks to middle school students and faculty under the MLTI since 2002. Apple had to compete with other computer makers for the first and the latest contracts, the state said."
