If price is that important then you have no choice. But a student does not need a 15” screen. You can get the same MacBook Pro with a smaller screen for $1199 or a regular MacBook for $999.

Face it, she will be downloading music. And much of what appears to be music is viruses. With a Mac, no worry.

Face it, she will be downloading music. That is possible, but as of now she buys all of her music from Napster and has done so for years. She agrees with me that downloading is stealing and as a CISSP we've been through what damage can be caused from illegal files. Now that you mention it, what would she do with all of her music from Napster? Will it even transfer to a Mac or will iTunes require repurchasing everything? Ugh!
