I am choosing between a Dell M 1210 vs. an Apple MacBook. Iam more into pics. Pls. give me the pros & cons!Tnx

I am a photo buff as my digital camera is my best friend. I frequently upload & burn my personal movies, lounging and surfing at cafes, burning my photos & copying them to friends, watching movies ( so good audio is important), and using the computer to call overseas so a good mic is also important. If the better choice is a Mac, is the black better bec. it does not leave fingerprints or a white Mac? I read some reviews that the white Mac esp. its keyboard easily gets dirty? My main concern is the weight and size but if the other has more features with a little difference in price, I would go for that. Is there anyone who is a pro at comparing both features of both models given what I intend to do with my laptop? I need your valuable unbiased advise! ( meaning I hope you donot work for either Apple or Dell :) THANK YOU !
