Alright, I am buying a new notebook in the next couple days, and have narrowed the decision to either the Dell Latitude D620 or the Macbook with Dual core 2.0 ghz processor.

Both are close in price, and I know you can run Win XP on Macs now too - so I'm just curious to see what the posters here have to say that may sway me to one or the other.

I'm going to be doing some photo-editing, internet browsing, work, email, etc... no games, that's what my desktop is for... so, which would you go with, and why?

Mac:

Dell:

Also, is it worth buying the 3 year Mac Warranty? It's $300 compared to Dell which includes 3 years in the price already.
