I've always wanted a macbook but i heard alot of bad things about them :\ i heard they don't hold internet connection, you cant view some websites, AIM doesnt work on it.

I have a dell desktop right now and i do not want another dell. I heard acer was a good laptop brand.

Which one!

Of course macbooks can hold internet connections, who on earth told you that?

my friend owns a macbook, the tiger? version. She said hers never holds connection and she can't leave AIM up with an away message. She said she had to switch to Adium

Go for an acer, dell have to many technical issues.

I disagree with the Acer.  I had one for about a hear.  Worked fine for about 9 months.  Then, within 3 months of each other, the hard drive, battery, and motherboard all failed.  Had to replace the thing.  It was disaster.

Now, I've got a decent Gateway laptop, and I really like it. No problems, durable, its pretty fast (except i recommend XP instead of Vista, Vista's a bit slow on this box).

Go for Acer, but if you want to spend a little bit more.. an Apple is worth it... Cause Vista sucks! xD
