Im a 15" high school student who, for my birthday, receiving a large amount of money for a computer...around 1000. I have amassed around 1600 (the mail-in rebate at amazon is what is enabling me to consider the Pbook anyway). I play some games, mainly war3, and I listen to a lot music. Now the question is whether to get the 14" combo drive with my own installed 512, raising it 768 or the Pbook 12" with bumping it up with another 256, making it 512. I was wondering which one I should get. Thank you for your help.

I apologize if i misrepresented my notebook needs. Warcraft three is dual compatible, so there is no problem there. Im not a huge gamer, so im not bothered by the constraints that the OS/X has. Mostly, it would be for a student, with some light gaming, nothing like Half life two or doom three.

It seems you will mostly be using your new labtop for gaming.
Then go for PC.

14" iBook has a horrible keyboard plus when you click on the mousepad button it sounds like someone is hitting a wooden stick on a metal bar.
