Why bother with Apple's desktops (as opposed to their notebooks)?

[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1370979, member: 110816"] I bought a iMac and my reasons were that I didn't want a mobile computer, I was going to use it in my home and on my desk. I also wanted the big 27" screen for a lot of reasons, and I opted for the highest processor at the time of my purchase and have upgraded to the RAM as well.. If I wanted to do the same with a MBP, I'd have to buy a beefy version of that AND a 27" Cinema display.. I've been building and using Windows-based computers for over 20 years and did enjoy upgrading stuff, but eventually that gets very old and I'd rather have a combination of hardware (and software that runs on it) that "just works" without having me constantly tweak something.. The iMac offered that and based on my usage (coding, browsing, email, and other shenanigans) it fit me really well. Unless your parents are really interested in being mobile with their new computer, the iMac is a very attractive option.. [/QUOTE]
