New Computer thoughts

So my computer is old and beginning to die. Since a small Apple laptop did well last time, I'm thinking about getting a similar machine. There's no more 12" lappies (sadly), so I'm thinking about getting the 13" MacBook w/ 2.4 GHz processor and extra RAM. But I'm flexible. Does anyone else have any suggestions / concerns / things I should know about? I'd be very obliged if you'd share.

If you are contemplating a PC, I love, adore and admire my 14.1" Lenovo. It has stood up to repeated dropping, cats knocking it off the table, and daily transportation to and from school. I can run multiple high-end programs on it simultaneously and don't even notice a hiccup (though I did spring for extra RAM to get it that way). If you want a smaller computer they also have a 12.1" version which is truly a thing of beauty; I just didn't like the smaller screen and lack of built-in optical drive.

Of course, you may want to stay with Mac, in which case, enjoy. :)

Lenovo's are built like bricks. Super durable bricks.

Were I not pretty hard-core into macs, I would buy a lenovo. They look fantastic.
