Hey guys, I'm having a really hard time deciding on whether I should go with Apple (with their OS) or with a Dell and Windows Vista.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Vista, which is really making me hesitant to get it. Also I hear that Dell customer support sucks, and if something happens to my laptop (which apparently is bound to happen according to my uncle) then I'll be screwed.

Then there's the macbook. The screen size is an abysmal 13 inches, and I was going to get a 15 inch Inspiron. Does anyone have a 13 inch screen? If so, how do they like it? My uncle is a complete Apple fanboy, but he's extremely intelligent when it comes to computers so don't go hatin. ;)

So basically from what I've gathered, I have to choose between a shoddy OS and a buggy laptop, or a very small screen macbook that costs about 100 dollars more.

I'm going to the Apple store to check out the macbook right now, so I'll check back on this thread in a few hours. Any advice is very appreciated!

Oh and in case it matters, I'm mainly using this laptop just for school and personal purposes. I'm not planning on playing videogames on it.
