I've also decided on a computer that I want for college (eventhough I'll simply be attending the local junior college next year). I want a Macbook. A white Macbook, 2.0 GHz, 512 MB or RAM, 100 GB hard drive, a 13-inch wide-screen display, and...an integrated graphics card. I'm not really worried about the integrated video card, as I don't plan to do much gaming on it. I mean, my portable gaming should be done on the DS and PSP. With the educational discount, I should be able to get one at $1,349. 'course, I WOULD like to go for a MacBook Pro ('cause it's got a lighted keyboard!...and a bigger display and a better video card), but that's more money...unless my parents are willing to spend more money, then it's a 15.4-inch MacBook pro all the way!
The Macbook will be my first adventure into the world of Macs and OSX. I'm sure it'll be an interesting journey. I'm bit worried about the heat issues of the Mac laptops, though...they're not really "laptops" because they'll burn you if you keep 'em in your lap too long. ^-^;
