[QUOTE="m1k, post: 50662"] Well, I suggest going for either of the PowerBooks simply because of portability. If you're a student it's really nice to be able to carry your laptop with you everywhere. If you have a desktop, sure, you get more power, but it's just not as portable. You'd be surprised how much nicer it is having a portable system than a desktop system. It basically boils down to whether you want mainly power or mainly portability. Power's good if you're a graphics design artist, but portability is also good if you're a student. The PowerBook is very powerful, though, I have a 12" with 512MB RAM and it blows away my high-end 2GHz PC completely. And the iMac is actually surprisingly portable, since it's like 25lbs ;). You can easily move it around! It basically comes down to whether you want more power or more portability, though. If you want a bit of both and can't decide, just go for the one that you like the looks of most :) Anyways, whatever you get, you're sure to be happy. It's mainly personal opinion, so go with what your heart tells you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
