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

[QUOTE="andy06, post: 1371125, member: 238143"] Thanks for the replies guys! Great info. I (and folks too) are pretty tech literate and comfy with computer operations and so the actual hardware specs and software functionality is something I know will suffice on any machine I buy. My primary motivation in starting the thread was to gain an insight into the unique proposition of AIOs/Nettops like iMac and Mac Minis. In my mind, they are a logical fallacy - desktops without any traditional advantages) but since they sell so well, clearly I missed something and people find something very alluring and compelling about them. Personally, I would reach for a MBP/MBA 9 times out of 10 but with all this new info, I'll definitely ask the folks once what THEY prefer without making an assumption. :D [/QUOTE]
