So...I'm going to be off to college fall of this year. Hooray for UC's!

Anyhow, I'll need (and want) a new laptop to take with me. I don't want to spend too much on one...maybe around $1500 at most and I want it to be light too...around 5.5 pounds, less preferably. Not sure how much gaming I'll do on it, probably a small amount. I've been looking at the Macbooks which are quite nice. But I'd like to get some input from you guys about it, what I should get, pros and cons. And if you think I should get a non-Apple laptop, tell me which one and why. All of your input is much appreciated. Thanks, you guys. :D

im gonna be honest in my case if i would have bought a Mac i would have been screwed in my classes, all of my classes require that i have certain software, they provided me with the software but for my friends who had macbooks they had to buy the mac version of the software IF there even was a version for Macs.

So i recommend not getting a Mac.

Let me look around for a little bit to find a good laptop, I have a HP laptop and I really love their laptops.

Oh, and I probably won't end up getting one till about May or June...or maybe later. Not sure if that's important or not. By the way...when does Leopard come out?

why on earth would you put yourself through having to use OSx and bootcamp to run windows for certain programs.
