HP Envy 14 or MacBook Pro 15 for High school?

I'm getting a laptop for high school, but I'm stuck between the HP Envy 14 or the 15 inch MacBook Pro. They both have an aluminium body (But the Envy also has Magnesium), and both have a core i5 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 500GB 7200RPM. Price isn't much of an issue, but it's still there. My school uses Windows 7 Dell Precisions if it matters.



And please, no Mac vs. PC fights. As much as I like watching people fight, this is a serious question.HP Envy 14 or MacBook Pro 15 for High school?
Buy the Mac and you'll get a free iPod touch. If you're in a city with an Apple Store you'll get better, and free, tech support for years. With the Mac you can run Windows if necessary, the HP cannot run Mac OS X. The Mac is built for security and does not have the HP's virus problems. And 70% of all college freshmen are using Macs. Buy the HP and you're getting last decade's technology.



Add'l: Then get the free Touch and sell it immediately. That's like a $150 off coupon.HP Envy 14 or MacBook Pro 15 for High school?
Hey. I have the Envy 14, and I certainly don't regret getting it. It's graphics card is more powerful than the MacBook Pro, it's lighter, has HDMI, has a blow-away screen (arguably the brightest and best on the market), hands down has the best audio (Beats audio), has a removable battery (with slimfit option), and comes with great software (Corel PaintShop Pro and Corel VideoStudio Pro for FREE, worth $70 and incredibly easy to use).



I could not recommend the laptop more. Also, did I mention it's cheaper and runs cooler the MacBook Pro?



Ignore the Mac fanboys. They're annoying.



EDIT: To be honest, I was in the exact same position as you. I was between the Envy, Vaio Z, and 15" MacBook Pro. Looks like I chose right.
