I'm Going To The Darkside; I'm Copping A iBook

I've finally had it with PCs. I'm sick of the problems and the crashes. My Dell Latitude D90 just crashed, my 2nd laptop to have a poor life-span in about 3 years. I've heard a lot of great things about the Mac, so I'm deciding to give the MacBook a try. I'm not sure which one I will choose (I know I don't have the budget for a Pro, nor do I need one), but I'm thinking of the 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo model (Priced at around $999 with my student discount). Any recommendations on what if I should upgrade with my purchase or what software I should purchase (I was thinking about getting iWork). Any suggestions or input would be great.

 

Just an update, I went to the Mac store, bought the basic 2.0GHZ Interl Core, 80GB hard drive (I'll probably be buying a seperate harddrive down the line, so it seemed reasonable). I also purchased Microsoft Office for Mac, a 3-year warranty, and a printer, all for roughly $1,200 with discounts and rebates. Hopefully, I won't be going back to PC anytime soon.

I don't use my computer for anything fancy; schoolwork, presentations, music and video storage (hence the need to buy a separate hard-drive later), and internet. Pretty basic, so I think I made the right choice going with the more basic model.

 

I got a rebate for about $50 bucks, yeah.
