If your just going to sit in your room and use it, buy an iMac. Macbooks are made to be used on the go tongue

no that black is only the 1500 price top 1. get white tho. black shows ur finger prints and i've seen them overheat faster b/c they are dark.
also sitting in ur room a macbook wud b better b/c eventually u may want to go in another room or take it 2 ur friends house or on vacation. the imac is way more powerful and pricy, which he doesnt need

a mac is a great investment for anyone who does graphics work. anyone who is a student should take advantage of their great student offers. i have a macbook and an imac, both are worth every penny. im a web designer/developer, but i probably dont do as heavy graphics stuff as other types of designers. i cant imaging doing what i do on a pc.
save your pennies guys, its worth it!

ya i agree. wen i had windows i used PSP and omg it was horrible. barely even ran good. woudnt allow what my mind could imagine. then i got a mac and so many more options, plus the higher detail screen than all my Dells makes it better to design also

@lbroskee, right on. The screen looks so much more crisp and clear than my stupid hp laptop. And.. its glossy happy
Its a small 13" screen, but it feels much bigger

We just answered that question. Its not small because the screen is glossy, the resolution is fairly low and the colors are crisp.

MacBook Pro's cost much more... if you really want to you can save up, because a macbook pro is much better. But its your choice at this point

yep, go for the macbook, it might seem pretty small, 13", but you get used to it, and it doesn't bother you anymore, trust me i've had the same problem. Furthermore, if you look at the specs, the default macbook has 1gb of RAM, bu tunlike windows, mac OSX doesn't drain as much RAM, so it is pretty fast. However, if you really want to boost this beast up some more, one 1gb of ram only cost around $25-$40 here is a link to Kingston for the RAM. Anyway, the processor is great and Macs are great for the entertainment, now the problem is to adapt to Mac OSX, if you're used to Windows, it'll probably take you 2-3 days to get really used to the OS. Hope this helps wink
