[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1544842, member: 56379"] I understand that you are new to Macintosh computers...so here's one thing to know. The only "true/traditional" desktop computer Apple currently sells is the Mac Pro. Mac-Mini's and iMac's are just basically laptop computers. The only difference is...a Mac-Mini has no display and iMac's are large. But inside...they are basically laptop computers. Ok...then just treat it like a desktop...and never leave home with it. Ok...then just treat it like a desktop...and never leave home with it. Not correct. Mac-Mini's and iMac's are the same way. Maybe so...but a laptop is still more mobile than a Mac-Mini or an iMac. And tablets are still not a 100% laptop replacement. Then get a larger external monitor when a larger display is needed. Maybe so. What are you going to be plugging into a laptop? Is this a bad thing? If you have a backup...no problem. Plus like I mentioned above...just treat a laptop like a desktop...and don't take it away from home. Great!:) Then upgrade it yourself.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
