Basically the exchange rate is ridiciously high right now (1 pound = 2 dollars and three cents) and I'm going to America in a few days, and I'm planning to get a laptop for around 1000 dollars or less.
I want a good laptop and I'm planning on installing Ubuntu.
Not meaning to hijack the thread but I'm going into Broadcast Journalism, and ultimately I want to be a producer. I want to start off in th editing room (hell I may be at the front desk, I don't know) but anyway, I've been looking at the MacBook Pro. Aside from a bigger screen (which I would love) what is the big jump from the regular to the Pro?

Im pretty sure the biggest differences are the keyboard and the graphics cards.

Is the Pro able to game?
Yes. Quite. Especially if you Boot Camp with Windows.

I'd get a decently priced Dell, get lots of battery power in it, and install Ubuntu.
Assuming the OP can swing the educational discount...
MacBook: $999 + $199(ipod nano) - $199(ipod nano rebate) - ~$175(sell ipod on ebay) = $825 MacBook.
That's what I did, just make sure it's the 4gb red nano, they have the highest resale value.
I don't think the OP is from Amurrika, so getting the educational discount may be a little rough.
