Next year I'm gonna be going to a school in switzerland and I'm gonna need a laptop. I was looking at refurbished macs and the only one really (I could probably go up) in my price range was the regular macbook, but I was wondering what other laptops are out there, I know the dell votro's regular starting price is the price of a refurbished mac, and has 2 gb more.. Are mac's worth it? Is there a better laptop out there? maybe one that I could get at a nice price then download software for... I'm overwhelmed ha.

There's only one thing worse than a refurbished laptop, and that's a refurbished Mac.

Check out Newegg.com; they usually have some pretty sweet deals on laptops. I have a spiffy entertainment laptop that can play games pretty damn decently for a lil more than $800. I'm sure you could find something that fits your needs for a few pennies.

I got an HP for school, with Windows 7, and I absolutely adore this thing. It's really good.

I usually go with TigerDirect, a competitor to the already mentioned NewEgg. Both are good. http://www.tigerdirect.com/

If I were in the market for a laptop to do everything on I would go with something like this (link below). Decent processor and video, 4GB RAM, and a Blu-Ray drive. I haven't looked too much into it though, so no matter what laptop you get go track down some decent reviews.
