The other computer I was considering was the black macbook which would be $200 more than this even after the $100 student discount.. Any input appreciated |

Do they have an Intel C2D model available for the same price?
Also I wouldn't recommend any security options. An occasional online based virus scan / Ad-Ware / HijackThis sweep is good enough and will cost you $0. |

If you live in the US and don't object to ordering one online it wouldn't hurt to check out www.newegg.com
Also www.pricewatch.com (although with a purchase like this I wouldn't use a non-popular vendor, so make sure you check out the vendor before making an order). |
