Looking for a laptop

Looking a the ASUS Republic of Gamers lappys.. Or a Mac. What do you think? Gonna be used mostly for school work. And perhaps a game or two.

Newegg.com - ASUS G Series G50VT-X2 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P8600(2.40GHz) 15.4" Wide SXGA+ 4GB Memory 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS - Laptops / Notebooks
Newegg.com - Apple MacBook MB466LL/A Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz 13.3" WXGA 2GB DDR3 1066 160GB 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard

Leaning towards the Mac though because it looks better and is smaller. Torn between screen size and portability.

If I go for the PC I'll probably go cheaper since I may not really use that graphics card on second thought alot.
Newegg.com - ASUS F8 Series F8Sp-X1 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5750(2.00GHz) 14" Wide XGA 3GB Memory DDR2 667 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 - Laptops / Notebooks

I guess its that ASUS or the Mac. Any thoughts?

Edit: I had my own little argument with myself up there.

I would definitely say the MacBook but if you want something cheaper I would go with the Dell Inspiron 1525 with 2GB RAM and a 120GB Hard Drive.
