Ok I know it's been a while since I've been on these forums, getting EXTREMELY busy at work and around the house. Anyways, onto the situation.
I sold my old laptop (MBP) and thought about buying a baseline Macbook. I have an iMac already that I use most of the time when I'm home. I know now that I sold my old laptop that I'll have to travel or something and want a laptop to use. Plus I still enjoy web surfing from the couch/bed. I could never do it with my old laptop because the battery would only last like an hour and a half.
So my question is, should I get the Macbook (refurbished) or I was also looking at a Dell Inspirion 13 (same size as Macbook) and getting Windows 7 on it. The only reason I'm considering the Dell is because it's somewhat of a change. I guess I could always load Win7 on the Macbook. My biggest issue is if the built-in battery will last me a while on the Macbook, or will it fail after 8 months like the old laptop?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, another reason I'm leaning towards the Macbook is because I still have a $50 gift card to the Apple Store from Christmas that I haven't used.
