Well we do really need a budget, and also unless you ABSOLUTELY need it to be a laptop, a desktop would be more cost effective.

You really don't want a Mac. You end up paying at least 40% of the total cost on the brand name, if you break it down. You also are extremely limited on what you can do on a Mac as well. But if you don't like Windows either, I would suggest going with some variation of linux, like Ubuntu.

If you want 'any piece of crap,' you should go with something in the $500-$700 range (USD). Then install some XFCE-based linux distro, like Xubunutu and pretty much any other distro that starts with an X.

If i were you, i'd buy a laptop when Windows 7 is released, its really much better than Windows Vista, and IMO better than XP
But, if you only plan to use it for school work, Mac is a really awesome computer. You can play a few games at your mac aswell, if you'd like to, Call of Duty 4, Frozen Throne, Command and Conquers etc... Though i only bought it cause i was lucky to be able to get my MacBook 60% off through my school. Its much faster than Windows, and has alot of awesome features (Exposé, Spaces etc.).

A Mac isn't faster than anything (everything?) else just by being a Mac. But I'm really not going to start that.
OP: You can get a cheap dual core on sale for about 500, then save up for a gaming computer, if that's what you're into.

You need to take a look at your daily routine and then decide on a laptop that best suite your needs.
Travel a lot and always on the road: A small and light-weight laptop will be your first choice.
