It seems to me that if you're on such a tight budget, you can't get a Mac that would be a significant enough improvement. The Mac OS is much better, but let's not kid ourselves here - $1050, though it is a good amount of money to throw at a computer, will not buy you much if you insist on getting a Mac. New Macs are expensive and old ones hold their value too well.

Getting a Mac is worth it, but I think you should wait until you've saved up a bit more. A 1.7 GHz P4 is not the fastest machine out there, but neither is any $1050 Mac. Either one will get the job done acceptably well.
