Ok, here's the specs of his laptop

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-black-13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html

His has been upgraded to a 500gb HDD, 4GB ram, and is running OSx Lion with ease

His processor is a 2.2ghz Intel

Here's the specs of my laptop:

HP dv7-3152nr

2.2ghz AMD Turion Dual Core
4gb ram
500gb HDD

Integrated graphics (Which barely runs COD4 at 800x600 resolution) Definitely not a gaming rig, lol

Blu-Ray drive (Which I never use)

17.3" screen at 1600x900

Windows 7 Home Premium

Good battery

Only thing that stinks is the 13.3" screen

I've always wanted a MacBook, and I wouldn't mind helping him out (He's 17, enlisting in the ARMY, and needs the PC to run some programs exclusive to the ARMY for his schooling from what I understand)

So what do you guys think? I'm only hesitant due to the screen size difference.
