[QUOTE="Meyvn, post: 179506, member: 7539"] I say go for the MBP. I personally love using my laptop as a desktop. I have a second 20" ACD to hook up to my PowerBook, an external mouse, and just use the existing keyboard. It works out great for me, and I can keep everything the same when I travel or when I'm at home. I don't have to have two completely different computers with different settings, I don't have to worry about changing my iTunes or iPhoto library between the two and updating and such. It saves me a lot of work, having only one machine. The time when getting a desktop is advantageous, in my opinion, is in two cases: A. You don't currently have a computer, and need to get something more affordable as a result or B. the desktop is significantly more powerful. For you, neither of these is the case. If you can sell your old laptop to buy the new one, go for it. [/QUOTE]
