Macs are nice but they are overpriced for what they offer and learning a different OS, while useful in some situations, actually can be a set back in others.
I still will recommend HP stuff due to HP's customer service and warranty, regardless of what many people would say bad about them. I've used HP for about 10 years now and I've always had a good experience with them. I've even had several times where they sent a free replacement part.
A lot of schools will resell HP, Gateway, and Dell products. Fiel is right though, if the school offers to sell you one, buy it. It's cheaper and most schools do have a tech support department.
