this is what i suggest.
1. you do not need a mac. mac is garbage for its price. it is merely a nice shell and looks fancy but the actual components are junk. sure it may be a bit smoother operating system (compared to msdos) and arguably has less viruses (only cause people dont bother making them for macs, too small of a population). if you can afford it or just love the look, be my guest. it is just with that money u can get a much better windows laptop. arguably, macs are only needed for art/communications related study since mac does own adobe and aton of that stuff
2. DO NOT GET A DELL/HP/TOSHIBA. their components are becoming cheaper and they tend to break really easy. Acer is kinda garbage imo, sony is abit overpriced just like the mac. My recommendation is an Asus
3. Buy ur pc online. Tons of cheap laptops/desktops available. My current pc was bought at around 55% original price. Check websites such as tigerdirect and newegg, usually have good deals
@blackdragon my pc i bought was exact the same but the processor was 2.13 ghz @ 800 bucks. that is a good deal. the only problem i see is the operating system, vista is pure garbage.
