I need some help on which one I should buy.Either the new Macbook Pro 13" or the Pavilion DV7 17.3?I mainly need a laptop for college and blogging (I am a journalist) so please recommend me which one would be better for me. Note that the Pavilion is 700 dollars while the Macbook is 1100 which is obviously a little bit more but if it's worth it, I would get it.I think the macbook has an i5 while the pavilion has an i7... please help me choose..

The former will last you for seven years as a primary computer.The latter will last you two, and then you'll be buying a new computer. Also, you'll be buying malware protection, cleanup utilities, removing malware (because they'll get around the protection), and spending TONS of money on software to even remotely emulate Apple's iLife.Get the MacBook and then grab iWork from the Mac App Store. You'll never regret it. iWork pees in the face of Office and says, "The fluid with which I'm covering you is worth more than your entire suite of applications."
