After sales support is top quality.once you get AppleCare you are set!
The biggest thing about the Mbp is since you are a student it's so easy and 100% reliable.
You could close the lid today and open it a week later from standby and it will still work at the same pace.

I called them up... they give 1 year warranty... and 90 days phone support
and if you want you can extend it by another 3 years by paying 15k..
plus, they bundle up some softwares with the mac
And no, I'm not buying the mac for the cool factor. I sometimes do ios dev on my hackintosh and the damn thing doesn't support hardware acceleration!

After using my Dell XPS 15 Extensively for the last 6 months in my college, I regret Buying it for one thing: SIZE
Many 15" right now are heavy,look Bulky and Lasts very less(3hrs max for me)..
If you wanna buy a 15" for College, you better check the models that are Slim and Light(Like the XPS 15z)
But for your requirements,I suggest you to go for the MBP 13"
Its the Ultimate 13" laptop, Except for Gaming..
I have just recently dropped the idea of buying a Mac, as the Whole Mac Product Line is about to change by December..
If you can, wait. Else go for the 13" MBP.. Its the best present out there.

Mb air is also good but the build of the MacBook pro is suited for the daily chores of a student.it's very sturdy and a tad bit powerful.
1- I really dunno what the changes will be.. Read about it in Engadget just before Steve Jobs Resigned.shrjun said:
2- With MBA you :
cannot Upgrade RAM
has slower processors(Compared to MBP)
Flash Storage capacity cant be extended
Display is bad
Gets Really hot if going for intensive usage
Battery Life is just on Par with MBP(MBP is slightly ahead)
NO DVD Drive
3- If you are Going for the current MBP, i suggest you to use it for a while. If you feel that you need it to be even faster, upgrade RAM to 8GB.
Even then if you feel its slower,(which it never will be), upgrade to an SSD.
BTW, If you wanna play games anytime on MBP, dont ever go for it. It heats up like an Oven and is unbearable at bottom.
If thats the case,I suggest you to wait for the 2012 Q2 Ivy Bridge Update(Yeah. Q2 Is the time when Intel is releasing it. Many MBA,MBP look-alikes are releasing at same time)
I suggest Mac over Windows Anyday after using windows for the past 10-15 years.
! Did you not do a review too recently ?- Status
