MOST RECENT POST I MADE IN THIS THREAD TO KEEP YOU ALL UP TO DATE:
ok so u have made me even want a mac more, the quesiton now is, which to get.
What I am going to use it for: Mixing producing. meaning ill have traktor as well as ableton in there.
LIGHT gaming: pretty much just starcraft 2...ill run bootcamp if i want to play maybe team fortress 2 (steam) but i DOUBT ill play any more than 3 games
I can convince my parents to let me get the macbook (900$ with the student discount...and a free ipod touch that i can sell fo $150) and i MIGHT (<-bigg ass might) be able to push as far as the cheapest 15 inch macbook pro (core i5 2.4 ghz, 4 gigs, 320 GB hdd) which would be 1550$ new (after the 100$ student discount and selling the free ipod touvh for 150$)
but the wuestion I have now: do i really need to go as far as that macbook pro? or will I be fine with a 13 inch macbook (which uses core 2 duo) or even the regular macbook?
thanks again, ill provide additional info if needed

OP:
I need opinions on the two, I am going to get a new lappy this summer. Wanting to mix and produce isnt really the driving argument I am throwing my dad as to why I want a powerful laptop. It is more telling him that I want something durable and dependable.
I am looking to improve my mixing and to start producing.
Pick one of the options, and, if you would, please tell me why I should get the option you chose. Also, please specify any certain brands of configurations of your choice (i.e. If you schose PC: what brand(s) would you recommend and specs, if you chose mac: would I be ok with just a Macbook? or go straight for a MBP? etc.)
I can push for a 15' MBP (cheapest configuration) if that is what some of you are asking ($1550 new through student discounts WITHOUT the tree year extended warranty).
But $1500 or so is the capping point.
PS: Assume I will take ridiculous care of it.
