However, I like Dell just as much... they have REALLY GOOD warranty service, I am one year out of warranty and they're willing to fix my video card (I also own a EEE, but had to pay $18 to ship it to them). So if you want to still download the occasional game or program and do more... then I'd have to go with Dell.

Just representing both sides, I guess it'll be the price issue in the end.

Thanks for the comparison!
Say if i was looking to spend about $2000, would i be happy with a Mac, considering ive never owned one before, or would i be happier with a Windows based platform?
All of you have been saying that Dell offers superb warranty, how bad is Apples then? It cant be THAT bad can it?

And in regards to both brands and warranties, those would have to be purchased seperately from the laptop itself right?
How "reliable" would the Mac and Dell be if i wernt to purchase the extended warranty?
Im currently using a HP laptop bought from Bestbuy a couple of years ago without the extended warranty, and its been fine so far.

I guess like i say in the original post, im looking for reliability, durability, size, weight, battery life, fast processing, decent set of speakers, and to do school stuff.
Im leaning more towards the Mac just because its like the "new" thing, but like all of you and ppl i know have said Dell has been good.
Most of the things ppl say comparing the 2 have been good feedback wise, but i cant narrow it down to which one ill want to get.

This is a stupid question, but Mac's can run Windows version of Microsoft Office 2007, right?

In my case, and the way im using it for, which one would you personally go with? Honest opinion please.
