    choices are simple, if you no longer play games and wish to part the alienware then do the trade/swap. if you don't use a mac for any reason simply sell the alienware and buy something else that you will use.

    Well I would like the Macbook pro, but would it work with like programming? I am taking a AP Computer Science course next year. I think I need the program Blue J and Java Oracle and all of that stuff, would it even work with the Macbook Pro?
