macs are great. in your situation id go with $1300 macbook. dvd burner etc is easily worth $200 increase over base model imo. the only accessory you might also want to consider is the external camera (isight is being replaced, hopefully soon) because the built in camera isnt as good. (nor can you move the camera around, say when travelling and you want to show off your surroundings. i had a great time with that in Koeln.
