I need a laptop for college and I have to buy it on my own :( I'm not sure if I should buy another HP because I've had screen and overheating problems with the last 2 that I've owned so far during college. But it fits my budget, and is stylish.

A brand new Macbook is out of my budget. I can only afford a refurbished Macbook from apple.com. I kinda need the computer for iLife/iMovie, etc and everyone in my major uses Macs but I hate buying refurbished and I don't qualify for credit. But I guess I could use a computer lab on campus to complete assignments that require a Mac program if I end up getting another HP.
