I wouldn't recommend the macbook. The macbook pro is worth it, but I don't think you'll get it at $1500 without some sort of really good discount.
Other good choices at that price range: Dell, hp, and toshiba.
Macbook is great for me. I don't play games or anything on it (just Diablo 2 and Civ3). Just use it for school work and stuff, and watching videos and whatnot. If you are looking for a good size laptop with OS X it is really your only option.
