I will be going to college in the fall as a biology major and my university is offering these two laptops for roughly the same price (macbook includes free ipod touch and HP printer). I will be using my laptop for basic tasks and I will not be doing any gaming. Which one would you recommend and why? (Dell comes with accidental damage warranty but Macbook doesn't).
Apple MacBook 13" White
2.4GHz Intel Core Duo Processor
2GB Memory
13.3" Glossy Display
160GB Hard Drive
SuperDrive CD & DVD Burner
Built-in Wireless
Built-in iSight Camera
Magsafe AC Adapter, Battery
Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard
iLife '08
Dell XPS M1330
Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 (2.4 GHz/800 MHz FSB / 3 MB cache)
13.3" Slim and Light LED Display with VGA Webcam
4GB shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz
250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
CD/DVD burner (DVD /-RW Drive)
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1 64 bit
Take the mac book and add some insurance to it. That way you will have a machine that is easy to use and you will also have a printer and a mp3 player, which you will have to buy if you have a PC.
It has more usable software included.
I use PCs and there are times they are a pain if you don't know them well and are somewhat of a tech.
Make sure you get theft insurance......at college they like to steel laptops. It may be included in your folks house insurance ... check that out.

I need some good suggestions of this product model DELL XPS M1330.
price ranges from 1600-1800
thank you!
windows vista
120 Gig hard drive is the minimum range
Looks like a pretty good setup already, the m1330 is a super-sexy, light-weight little laptop.
I'm not really sure what you'll be using it for but the 120Gb hard drive will get filled up pretty quickly with music, photos, videos and the like and I would suggest either going for the larger option or think about an external Hard Drive for storage.
If you want to play any games on there, you'll need to upgrade from the standard integrated graphics to the NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS.
I'd go for the faster processor (T7300) as it's faster :)
It's already a really good little package and anything extra you add is just that, something extra. Just don't go crazy with the options and end up in too much debt.
I hope this helps, and good luck with your purchase!
