dude if i were you i wuold get the macbook. NOTHING is wrong with the refurbished once. I was on the macforum and everyone agree's that there refurbished are great, and i haven't heard till today of anyone having problems with their mac refurbished computer.
My girlfriend got a macbook (black) refurbished and it looked brand new, and has never gave her a problem till date. It runs fast, smoothly and no problems at all.. I recommended it to her, so then i messed up my ipod and got one refurbished. It works great.
With HP, i never really liked HP. YOu get a HP, and Vista... ohhh man!... I personnaly don't like vista. I've played around with it, but i'm happy i got my imac. In college you shouldn't need more that the macbook. YOu install your office for students, you're good to go. My girlfriend used her for college and it's great. No freezing, rebooting, crashing or anything.
Yes Mac is comming out with there new Os. I'm going to be at the store to get it asap. I've read and seen it's awsome! But in the meanwhile you will just end up spending more if you get a 1000 computer and then in 1 year a macbook 1,200+.... Just go all out and get the macbook now. make sure it has intel 2 duo and at least 1g or ram... if not, get the additional ram to equal 1g... i believe that will make the computer run great!
Good luck.
