Ummm, you should've went stock and install a larger hard drive and RAM yourself. It is marked as user-installable items.
That could've saved you A LOT of money. xboxrulz |

For most of add-on components.
PC and mac should both use the same type of hardware such ide drive, usb ... etc. If you could found a drive that is wrote for mac. You even can use pc version. So, the most expensive one might be the core system. Then that will depends on your type of usage and budget ! PC could lower as US$ 300-350, but mac will cost you $US 1300 or above. |

I'm actually using my mac right now! I'm starting to really hate my Windows XP boot as it's just so buggy and poor at connecting to my router. I'm currently dual booting with XP and openSUSE 11. and to be honest, I'm really starting to like Linux more and XP less.
As for Mac v.s. Windows, I think Apple will really start to take the market as they're becoming more stylist, popular and able to run Windows apps (due to intel chip). |

I'm looking to get a laptop, hopefully Mac. The cheapest I can find is £656 on Apple Edu-UK, Amazon is 696. Should I bother looking for cheaper?

Well, 656 pounds equals to CAD$1,267 and the second lowest priced Macbook is CAD$1299 (before taxes) so I guess it's a good deal.

If yes (or you have a mate at uni) get them to log on through the campus internet and buy it that way. You'll save money by using the student discount. |

The Edu-Uk store is the other half of the student stuff, though its only 8% discount.
Is it worth trying that procureweb thing at college (your high-school)? |

Well, you should try it. 8% discount is 52 sterling pounds off, that's still money.
