im a soon to be college student and i am looking for a fairly portable but yet powerful laptop, with that said i will be using it mainly for word processing and web surfing and stuff but i do play games occasionally along with video and music editing so i want a decent video card-and that is why the reg macbook is out of the question...
oh and what kind of verification is needed to get the student bonus at apple bc that 200$ off would be nice, but im not going to be in college for another 6-8mos or so
so here is basically what ive narrowed it down too:
base 2.2 ghz 15.4 mbpro-2000%
base 2.4ghz 15.4 mbpro-2500$ (not really looking to spend this much)
or
dell xps m1530 with 2.2 or 2.4 ghz processor, 160gb 7200rpm harddrive, and same vid card as the 2.4ghz mbp- 1700$ final cost
and im not looking to start a mac vs pc argument or anything, im just looking for some decent advise from some people who actually one macs...
