[QUOTE="chrissiejames, post: 1102222, member: 170056"] Hi there I wonder if anyone can help. I am about to switch from PC to Apple. But I don't know what to get. My requirements are: At home, normal home computer use - email, internet, minimal word processing, photos, Itunes. Also, I travel to a fixed location in the UK about 20 times a year and spend between a couple of days and up to 6 weeks there at a time, where I would generally use the computer for similar things as home use. I currently have a small (slow, old) laptop which I transport with me between the 2 locations. So I was thinking of getting a 15 or 17 inch Macbook Pro and using it as I do my current laptop. Then I was wondering whether, using Apple's clever synching technology, it would actually be sensible (and a similar cost) to get a lovely 27 inch IMac for home and an Ipad for trips away. The kids would probably be very happy with that, as they get to use the Ipad when we are home, while I am using the IMac. Is this a sensible idea? Or should I just stick with a Macbook Pro? Or is there another solution I haven't thought of?? I would be very grateful for any suggestions! Thanks CJ [/QUOTE]
