[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1010629, member: 140470"] If you are getting a new laptop that soon then get an iMac first. Since your MacBook is still recent you can use that in the mean time. This way you will also find out if you really need a powerful laptop. You might find that you like the iMac to be your main computer and the MacBook as a secondary computer for the portability. If you are mainly surfing the internet and taking notes in class then you really don't need a powerful laptop. Also by the time you are ready to get a new laptop the new ones will be out and it will be closer to the current iMacs performance. Laptops usually lag behind desktops in performance which is why for the same price you can get a faster desktop. You don't have to buy an Apple external monitor. There are many other brands you can choose from. As for the compatibility I think you just need an adapter but it might not be the highest quality with that type of connection. The other brands might have the connection you want. [/QUOTE]
