For college, coding, occasional gaming, movies, videos and internet. Will TRY and run OS X on it. Which one would you consider better? Is there a reason to consider the Envy with lesser specs and higher price over the Pavilion with higher specs and cheaper price other than design? Please let me...

Purpose : For college. Will be using windows+mac on both laptops. (A store near my home offered to install os x on the dell laptop.) Windows for coding+occasional gaming(almost never). Mac for browsing and movies. Shouldn't heat up and should be usable for at least 4 to 5 years. New Dell...

Purpose: College. Battery life above 5 hours is good enough. Mostly browse the internet, code a lot. Occasional gaming, but a lot of video watching. Shouldn't heat up too much and shouldn't lag. The Dell is cheaper, so consider that too. And please tell me why you chose whichever one you choose...

thanks a lot james! :) sorry for bothering you so much though!

Can you give it a final rating? I changed the case, took a bit larger one! PSU built in. (conveniently found in the tonymacx86 forums!) upgraded the processor a tiny bit! Case. http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-SG05BB-450-Mini-ITX-Computer-Certified/dp/B0047CQ1C8/ref=pd_cp_e_0 Motherboard...

Haha that's alright :) Thanks for the PSU! So, it's good enough as a download machine, htpc and 1080p streaming?

The motherboard seems small enough to me! http://www.itxgamer.com/motherboards/gigabyte-ga-h67n-usb3-b3-review/

But that's a tonymacx86 custom build. I got it from their website so I'm pretty sure it'll fit everything in! I'll get the PSU you suggested James, thanks! Also, leaving the case aside, is it good enough for the functions I mentioned?

Thanks! So I can buy two of these and plug them in?

Thanks a lot!
