So i'm going to be a college student this august and i'm planning on buying a macbook. They have $600 rebate thing ($300 in cash and $300 for an iPod touch) so take that into consideration. The prices of a macbook is $1100, $1300 and $1500 and for the macbook pro is $2000, $2400, $2800.

Basically all I'll be doing with a computer is some schoolwork, warcraft 3 (the only game i play), and some applications like Photoshop. As you can see I don't buy new computers nor a laptop every year. Look at my signature, I had that computer for 5 years now.

What will be a good laptop to buy? Should i settle for the $1100 macbook? or the $1500 one? When would I need a $1500 compared to the $1100 one?

thanks
