Witch one to choose?

I need a new laptop as the one I have is getting old and is quite heavy. For the moment I love Sony Vaio and Apple macbook,both in black. The macbook has kind of always been my dream.The only problem is that I still need my laptop for my studies and I don't know how a mac will do that? Sony, I am not even sure if I can buy in Norway.Sometimes this country is so lame. I do have a thing for nice laptops, having a coffee in the city center while Im writing on my laptop,nice senario,specially if the city is London!
