[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1398953, member: 56379"] You didn't mention considering one of the most important parameters in your decision...and that's portability/mobility. A laptop computer is more "mobile" than a desktop computer (although a Mac-mini is very portable). Since a laptop is more mobile..you pay more for it. If you don't need the mobility of a laptop...why pay for it!;) If what you need is a desktop...get a desktop. If you need a laptop...get a laptop. Make this decision...and you choice is made.:) - Nick p.s. And...if you're going to pay $800-$1000 for a used MacBook Pro...and you don't really need a MBP...then you can spend the same $$$ on a new or newer iMac.
