iMac or wait for the Intel iBook

[ajo]

So ive posted a few times now about me planning to buy myself a mac. I was planning to buy a 20" iMac. The thing is, is that I havnt really got a great deal of space where I am, and now that there is talk of a Intel iBook soon Im wondering weather I should wait for that.

It will be great for saving space and being portable, but im not planning to travel that much really.

I really cant make my mind up.

Can anyone help me...again

Thanks

I say wait...

I would say wait. I mean, a 20 inch iMac is nice, but are you really going to need the massive hard drive? The ibook's portability and wifi reception are awesome. Sure, the hard drive is going to be smaller, but it's portable! With an iMac, it solves the problem of having a desktop take up desk space, but you can't transport it easily. I would say wait for the intel ibook. We're not sure exactly what it will be like, but it will be better than the current ibooks, which are good as it is.

The thing I like about the iMac is the big screen, I will be using it to watch movies so a big screen is nice.

Im useless at making up my mind.

If you won't be moving the computer around, it would make little sense to buy iBook replacement over iMac. You get much bigger and better screen, much more hard disk space (photos, music, videos can quickly eat up lots of space), and faster performance. No contest.

if you won't be moving it but space is limited, how about the 17" imac? Why does it have to be 20" or 12"?

Seems like a strange either/or situation.

You either need a portable machine, or you don't.

Buy what you need.
