What is the best laptop to buy for a student attending college in the fall of 2011?

Q. My parents are letting me get a laptop before college. I can spend up to $1000. Maybe a few more hundred. What would be the best bang for my buck?
I was looking at the Macbook Pro but I would only be able to afford the 13". I dont know if this is too small or not.

Answer
Haters gonna hate but i would honestly recommend a macbook pro, this laptop is reliable, wont ever die, has specs that will cover your needs, and if you have a problem, Apple has the best customer support in the business. It is well worth the money. If the MacBook pro is too pricey, a standard MacBook will do just fine.

edit: I have the base 13" model and I think it is the perfect size. It is light and portable and the battery will last me around 7 hours.

These are the two that I am between, the dm4t is $932 and dv7t is $830. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as long as they can be bought off of the hp site because I like their discounts on office and norton. I greatly appreciate any input. THANKS

Answer
The larger display for your eyes. I bet in two months that you will want to uninstall Norton and get Kaspersky or Eset. If you never owned a laptop, I give you one month before you drop or spill liquids on it which will turn it into garbage material.
