[Awkturtleed87]

I am new to Apple products and I was worndering if anyone had any clue on what would be a better buy. imac or macbook?? Also I am seeing a lot about the new OS for mac and was wondering if the new OS is going to be included in the imac or macbook. Should I wait? Or do I still have to upgrade???


What are the pros and cons of Imac compared to Macbooks??


If anyone could help me out that would be GREAT!!!

Thanks!!!

Do you need portability? No = iMac. Yes = MacBook.
Do you play 3D games? No = MacBook. Yes = iMac.

If you buy a Mac between now and Friday 26th, The new OS will cost you $9.95 and come as an upgrade. If you buy after next Friday, the new OS will be included as an extra disk with your new Mac. A couple of weeks later, all new Macs will be loaded with the new OS.

I own a MacBook and let me tell you, it is not good for gaming

If you don't game then get a MacBook. There's really little it cannot do.

only want portablility? -> macbook or macbook pro
want to play games? -> macbook pro
want a larger screen with a higher resolution? -> macbook pro

Lets put it this way. With all Mac's you're going to get the same software. The only difference is the hardware, and iMac and MacBook pro actually have fairly close specs.

You buy either of these and you wont have any problem with running any software.

This thread is like trying to compare tomatoes with potatoes, people would be able to be more helpful if it was between a Macbook or Macbook Pro, or between a Mac Mini or iMac but your trying to compare two things that are totally different and have been designed for two totally different things,
