My parents will be getting me one for a grad present, and right now I'm leaning towards a Macbook or Macbook Pro unless anyone can convince me otherwise.

depends what you're using it for. a macbook is definitely good enough, the pro would be recommended if you're heavy on graphics and video.

And when you're up watching cartoons at like 3 in the
morning you're nice and low to the ground
with your bean bag chair so when you
roll over you can sleep on the floor naked with your bag of cheetos

I have to get a Mac.  But, I heard Dell is pretty good, especially if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

Either one is really great. I like Macbook Pro better, even though I'm getting a Macbook soon.

Something simple from Dell is sufficient for college.  If you want to do gaming, PC is the way to go rather than laptop, because PC is incredibly easy to upgrade graphics, memory, etc. etc. compared to a laptop.

Yah but how simple will it be to carry a PC around...

Its easier to carry around a PC compared to upgrading a graphics card, increasing drive space, or increasing overall RAM capacity on a laptop.  It doesn't hurt to buy a cheap laptop for classwork while having a feasible PC for your entertainment needs along with using an HDTV 720 or 1080p television for your computer monitor, as well.

MacBooks are pretty awesome. I'm typing on it right now. You might want to check if your college has specific requirements before getting a laptop, though. There are some schools that are going to give you a laptop, too. Just saying.
