Like several of the other threads I've seen, I'll be off to college in the fall and I'm seriously debating between getting a 2.0GHz MacBook with some added RAM and hard drive capacity versus a slightly souped up M1210. I'm not too worried about the budget side, because I've already priced them based on what I want and they're pretty close to being the same. My big question is: which is a better laptop to have? Every single MacBook review that I've read has been practically glowing--the reviewers seem to like it, especially since you can have Windows on the computer as well, something I would definitely be doing. But, I've used PCs (heck, mostly Dells) for my entire computer lifetime and well, I'm somewhat hesitant about making the big leap. I'd really appreciate some advice from those who are more savvy on this topic: which one would be better?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, I don't know what I'll be studying yet, but it wouldn't be engineering or the sciences, more on the english/history/business side of things, if that's a factor.
