I hear more and more people are building their own PCs. You put in it what you want, and it costs cheaper to build it from parts. Now that Apple’s Macintosh computers use Intel processors, I wonder, can one build a Mac on one’s own?

Trying to keep this short: entering college as a design student, considering digital photography and imaging as an alternative, need a laptop that will last me four years of college. Will be using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 excessively, need laptop to have intel core 2 duo processor and at least 2GB of memory. I also need a smaller one that will be easier to carry around campus to classes. For this reason, I’ve been considering possibly the 13.3-inch macbook, although I would really like a laptop that is pc based.
So. Do I stick with getting a macbook, or is there a pc laptop out there that’s small and easy to carry around and has Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and lots of memory?
