I would be including my Logitech G5 mouse, Sound blaster audigy zs notebook, and my external 350gb hard drive. How much should I aim for in price?(Also some small scruffs on the top of the laptop itself...other than that...it's perfect)

I'm planning on purchasing an apple laptop with the money I make and whatever else I have(if I need it) What system would you guys recommend? I'm looking for portability...and bang for buck. I was looking at the black macbook which I really like...but the white is cheaper for the same specs...but the black looks so darn sexy. I guess I could splurge for the low end macbook pro if need be...but is it worth it? I would be using the macbook for my daily use, school stuff, and some random gaming(if possible) Also, would it be a good idea to purchase a macbook right now, considering the core 2 duos might come out soon?

Thanks for all the help guys!

 

You'd be better off asking this question in the Selling portion of NBR forums.

As for which system, you can't go wrong with either choice, however the MBP will give you a better gaming experience, however the GMA950 in the Macbook under windows does a decent job on older games.

 

Yeah, the GMA-950 isn't too bad at older games. But I would think you would make enough profit to purchase the 15inch MBP, probably.

 

Also, I have an education discount so that brings the price down a bit. Another question, I have these speakers

Would I be able to use them with my macbook? It's a 5.1 system...and I couldn't see anywhere to plug it in on the macbook...is there some sort of adapter...or do I have to purchase apple speakers?

 

The MBP will support 5.1. You can use USB or the optical out. As others have said, the MBP would be better for gaming. As for how much you will get for your XPS I would say $1000, maybe up to $1400-1500. The Pentium M is an older processor at this point.
