My first buy
Alright now i am soooo frusterated right now. I dont what to get. I am getting a new computer for my 16th birthday for sure but idk which one. My parents are willing to spend about $1200, not much more. At first i was going to get a refurb aluminum unibody macbook pro 2.4ghz for $1600 but i would have to spend $400 of my own money, i was very set on this until my friend said i should build my own custom pc. I really really love the look of the macbook pro which is why i was gonna buy it. I also really love portability. But the macbook pro isnt very powerful and for $1200 i can get a custom built pc from ibuypower.com. This is its specs which i would buy:

Now the specs of the macbook pro are like a 2.4ghz core 2 duo, nvidia 9600GT and 2gb ram. Now i know the pc specs blow away the macbook pro. But like i said i love the portability of laptops, now ive had a desktop for ever but occasionally use my dads crap laptop. So i dont know how much id use it portable but im sure i wuld. Also the macbook pro is amazing looking.
So which do you think i should get?
Please leave all your thoughts,
Thanks
