I'm at 12/18 right now - I should be done pretty soon, but I'm having trouble deciding what prize to choose.
I'll need a laptop for college, but I'm getting a new Powerbook, so the iBooks are out.
I love Linux, and I will miss it (even though OS X is a unix) so I can't decide if I should get the AMD Averatec or the $1000. How much of my $1000 does paypal actully take? I have heard that with offercentric offers you get the whole thing, and paypal doesn't take off their 3% + .30 - is this true?
A laptop will start depriciating as soon as I get it, but $1000 will start becoming more valuble (interest )) - it's a tough decision but I might just become a mac user and leave my beloved Linux at home (I don't want to dual boot - it's x86 Linux or nothing)
What is the best way to get the most of my $1000 - I have a verified paypal account with bank account attached. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for any input!

Well, since you said your already getting a computer then of course you might as well go for the $1000. Like you said, the laptop will depreciate as soon as you get it. I already have a computer that I am perfectly happy with so it would be a waist for me to go for the laptop.

custom is ALWAYS better than factory made when it comes to PCs.
