[QUOTE="613, post: 1128791, member: 131294"] As a student, I can definitely see your problem! Having said that, I'd probably live off bread and water to keep my Macs! :[ I think members of this forum can't really answer this question for you. It really does depend on your circumstances. Factoring in the issues: Portability - Laptop vs Desktop - do you need to take your laptop to college, university etc? If so, you'd be better holding onto the MacBook. Performance - what sort of day to day programs do you require? The iMac will have a greater upgradability. If you're a history student like me, the most you'll need is Pages or Word. E.g. You could sell your MacBook and buy a cheaper PowerBook that would be able to be a cheap workhorse. So you wouldn't lose the flexibility of the desktop/ laptop system you have at the moment, yet still have change. Money - how much money do you need, more or less? You may well get more money from either depending on the condition and performance of the two computers. Screen size - speaks for itself - 13" MacBook vs 24" iMac. But you could sell the iMac and pick up another LCD to plug your MacBook into and have a lot of change. I hope others can help you more, but those are the questions I'd ask to try and help. Good luck! :) David [/QUOTE]
