Done school - debating beween macbook pro 13" or imac

[MacHappytjg]

hmm got me thinking
if i got an imac wouldnt i just get a pc for less and hackintosh it

I tried that, and i failed. ever since i got a new graphics card it will not open system profiler and crashes so i gave up and just stuck xp on it xD.

wish i could add a poll to the thread

I'd get the 13" MBP....i have both an iMac & a 13" MBP...i use the MBP 10 times more than the iMac

why do u use the mbp more?

 

[AluminumMB]

anyways going for the mbp....apple makes great laptops probably the best

Get the macbook pro and buy an external display for when you feel the need for a bigger screen. I know I did.

...prob Sept/Oct after the back to school promo ends...

idk... they actually intro'd the aluminum in august. so late summer/early fall.

 

[AluminumMB]

I am buying the mbp 13" tonight
hopefully it lasts for a few years
thanks guys

compared the lowest end macbook pro with the lowest end imac

imac seemed obviously more responsive

still undecided so i didn't buy

 

[AluminumMB]

$1420 is the deal I am getting over some dude on craigslist for the lowest end macbook pro

or its $1470 after taxes retail at apple store but does not include ipod touch

unless you really need portability, go with the iMac, you get way more machine.

 

[AluminumMB]

hmmmm

 

[thegoldenmackid]

I can't read. There is no right answer. I'd imagine the iMac is more preferable.

 

[xIGmanIx]

No. why is this even a discussion. Portability is sorta important in college. I do not believe that there are many that would say that the desktop is necessary, unless you are doing intense Mac Pro esk work, in which case..yeah...

did you even read subject thread? Done college
