I will be using for school. But I want something that will make other people's laptops go to shame.
Other than that I want a really fast laptop. It should be able to run multiple file, documents, etc. all at once(i.e. downloading music/video and surfing web or watching a movie.
Which is better macbook pro 15" 2.33Ghz or dell inspiron 1505/1705

Dells will have more bells and whistles, conform in the business world, and a better selection of software is available. Macs are less susceptible to viruses, have better operating systems, and are better media centers. Macs are cool.

Ew - if shame is the name of the game, forget either of those two and have a look at Toshiba - either a Satellite or a Satellite Pro (the pro has improved specs/features, as well as graphics card). Both available in 15" or 17" screens.
Mind you, if you have the money, nothing will make your fellow students droll like an Alienware laptop - these thing well built for the gaming market, so plenty of power to spare ...and then some :)

The cool thing about the macbook Pro is that you can install XP on the hard drive along with OSX. Apple gives you the software to do it for free. You just have to supply the XP. You can see the XP partition from OSX, so moving files between the two is easy.
The new Intel Macbooks are much faster than the old Powerpc ones.

Dell will give you more compatibility for your school. If you buy a apple, you may end up doing a little more legwork to get small compatibility issues. Not a big deal if you have the time and are computer literate.
Apple will in general be a little more costly. Dell has coupons that are always available here: http://www.24houredeals.com/dell-coupons-23-mer.html

Depends on your preference of operating system. Do you like Mac or Windows better? There are pros and cons of each.

Dell is quite good. But it's really up to you which one you thinks suits you more. I suggest you try outr both brands and which ever you think is better get it. Good luck.

Why do you want you put others computer to shame. It seems to me that you have ego issues. Apple will stand out more if you want to know my answer.
