What equipment should I get?

I am looking for an upgrade for my computer because I have a Dell Mini Netbook (which has no place.) I am a student. Looking for the best team to have enough space for rehearsals or at home. I have about 1000 songs, and I have many photos, so I'm looking for something that be able to maintain that. Many people told me that an Apple is the most reliable equipment, and would love to get that, but since I'm paying for it, is a bit off my reach at that time (although it could find some way to get money). Therefore, should I get a Apple MacBook 2.26GHz (if so, how many GB room), or NV7915u Gateway, which is also very good reviews?

I looked at a review of the Gateway (the reviewer liked it) and gave out quickly to the MacBook. These are very different teams, so I'm a bit surprised at his election has come to these two. The Gateway lists for around $ 600, has a 17 inch screen, a 500GB drive, low-end graphics, and is, of course, a Windows PC. The MacBook costs $ 1000, has a 13.3-inch screen, a disk of 250 GB at that price, probably better graphics (I do not know much about the MacBook), and, obviously, use the Apple operating system. The gateway seems pretty good value in its own right. But if you're good with a smaller screen, a number of Windows laptops with screens 14 "I could see. By spending less on the big screen, you could get more features in another area for the same price, a bigger hard disk, better graphics, longer battery life, more portability, etc, or possibly the same characteristics as other as the gateway to a lower price. Only depends on what you want. I suggest you spend a little more time refining their own needs, what they are, then go from there. Alternatively you could purchase one of those small external drives for use with the Dell Mini. You can get a 500 GB disk for about $ 100 which is very thin and portable. Or the same amount of money would receive a 64GB flash drive. Just wanted to mention that if it were otherwise satisfied with the Dell Mini, but I needed more storage space.
