[QUOTE="Matt54987, post: 717749, member: 51557"] My pc blew up back in April and was my only computer and thus I decided that there was no better time to buy a Mac. Due to not having a computer I didn't put much thought into what I wanted--an iMac it was. The following day I drove to Seattle and purchased a 20" version. It has a 2.4GHz core 2 duo with 4GB of ram that I installed. It also has a 300gb HDD. I'm heading off to university on the 24th of September and am looking into getting a laptop. My girlfriend brought up a great point: Why didn't I just get a MBP [in the first place] for the power (which is why i went iMac) and then i'd also have a laptop for the versatility. I hate when she is right So it got me to thinking that maybe I should have gone with a MBP instead of the iMac since the MBP would fulfill both my needs. Right now I am in debate on whether to buy a Macbook (tired of waiting for this "update" but trying to be patient) or sell my iMac and purchase a Pro. The things I use my iMac for are as follows and in no particular order: browsing the internet Counter strike World of warcraft itunes email/IM soon to be TONS of school work more world of warcraft (as well as maybe Diablo 3) Having never had a laptop, is it kind of a pain to make a desktop? (being smaller, having the keyboard attatched..etc) What do you guys think? And if in fact it was decided to go with the MBP, what would be a good amount to sell my iMac for? Appreciate any help.
