[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1051908, member: 26315"] If you can save up just enough for the lowest iMac that has a dedicated graphics card, then you should be good to do everything you want to do. The lowest iMac (it comes with an integrated graphoncs card) will do everything you want but might be a little sketchy on the gaming side. And if you really want to transport your imac home, you should invest in a imac bag. Something like these from this site would be nice. [url=http://www.ilugger.com/]ilugger.com[/url] Then you can call the imac carry on luggage and you'd be able to baby it the whole flight. Sure that's the hard way. The macbook will to everything you want to (but the gaming might be hard, well it depends on what games, some work well, others don't). So the bug question is do you need the real portability, or is the imac with an imac bag to lug it home in the holidays ok? And I would take whatever Mac you get home with you. You can't be too careful about these things. I just would not trust it being left in the condo room all holidays without it being stolen or damaged. But if you want to take it home I'd suggest a 21.5 inch imac not the 27 inch. Simply cause the larger size is a little more hassle to cart around. [/QUOTE]
