Hello,
I am new to this site and I want to buy an Apple Computer. I have a Dell it is 10 years old. I know so old and so slow! But I was wondering what do I buy? I use it at home and I am in college so my budget is an issue too. Can you all give me some direction. Thanks!

Need more info.
What do you plan to use your computer for? Surfing the net, light word processing, photo editing, or final cut pro? Do you want to play games?
Do you want a desktop of laptop? What's your price range?
Once you decide on the above then the decision is pretty easy.

As a student you can buy with discount through the online apple store.
ALternatively you might also look through ebay for a used macbook to save some money.
From what you have said, and with my slowly growing knowledge of all things mac I would say either go for a macbook or get an imac. depends on how portable you want to be. If you went with an iMac you could get an external hard drive and take it between home and college as I think I might do!
Get a basic PC, and then add RAM to it afterwards, that is what I am being told by everyone!
If games are important you'll need a MBP or iMac. If the MBP price is higher than you wish to spend look at the refurbished computers at the apple store or get one from ebay.
I believe refurbished MBPs can be bought at the Apple store for $1699. That's a good deal IMO because they come with 2 gbs of RAM standard.
