[ask] iMac VS MBP

[andy-ch]

Actually, I don't mind about the price.
Yes.. I knew MBP is more expensive than iMac (with the same specs)

I just want to have 1 computer.
I need that computer to be turned on 24/7 (docking on my desk)
And I'd like to carry it whenever I need to take my MPB to go travelling with me

Do you think MBP suitable for me?

If you need portable, then why are you waiting? The iMac isn't portable.

What I'm worrying is...
Is my MBP will be fine turned on 24/7

I leave my MBP on 24-7. When it's not under heavy CPU or graphical load, it's actually cool to the touch.

If you leave your MBP on 24/7, then its basically a server, and why would you get a portable server? And if you're looking for speed, why aren't you getting the Mac Pro, which is more than twice as fast and can be upgraded and made even faster? Why are you looking at two computers where all the money is in the display and neither can be upgraded? Or why don't you get a used Mac Mini and upgrade it yourself?
