No, they have Dell, Alienware, Hp, ect..
But I prefer a Mac since I've had one since high school..
Yeah my comment was about the monitor...Clearly I do not suggest getting an Alienware as a replacement for a MacBook Pro.
I'm not exactly sure on the displays, I only checked out the Apple section and only peeped the rest.
I'll have to go check it out but I'd definitely go with an Ultrasharp instead of a LED display if it's an option.
It's just really strange that it seems that you can only get a discount on the campus store.
Apple and Dell have education sites for schools. Here's my online shopping for hardware.
Do you play games or anything that would stress the 9400?
Are you really going to need the screen when you travel with it?
If no to both of above, get a 13" MBP and an external.
If you do play games or need more screen real estate, get the 15 and an external.

he can get a discount anywhere that offers student discounts with a student ID, or proof of enrollment, etc...
i think the question is does his grant only allows him to buy thru the campus bookstore, or can he buy elsewhere.
I don't play games, I have an Xbox 360 for that.
I'd like to have a powerful computer and an amazing external since I'm going to be a graphic design and photography major.
That's correct, the $6000 grant is for bookstore only meaning i can spend on books, computers, supplies, ect..
If i want to purchase the computer elsewhere, it comes out of my pocket.
