The laptop culture probably started during the dotcom boom when a lot of freelancers worked out of cafes in the Bay Area, and I suppose caught on with students, because Portland has a couple of Universities, too (albeit not of the importance and size of UCB). I also have to add that this is a phenomenon present only in cafes with free Wi-Fi. Laptops don’t have such a strong presence in the more “traditional” University cafes.

Great photos! From the number of laptops, a logician could infer the dominating presence of a University. Many fewer in the Portland (OR) cafes I had the chance to visit last week.
