I can't choose between a low end :apple: iMac or a High end :apple: Macbook, I go between two houses
 
You can lug an iMac between houses. If you need to go places with it, no question get the Macbook.

The MB is faster, I think. More memory, faster memory, not sure about the processors though.

The iMac has a nice big screen though, and firewire.

I know they're both 2.4 GHZ, I'd suspect a different front side bus though.

Anywho, the MB is also more expensive by a couple hundred. $1600 vs. $1200, I think?
 
Well how often are you going to move from house to house because if it was like once a week then it would ok to get the imac but anymore frequently than I would definitely go for the macbook:apple:
 
My Macbook basically acts as an easy to upgrade iMac since it's usually connected to an external monitor. I had to make the same choice and I picked the Macbook because the iMac is due for a refresh "any time now" while the Macbook still has some time before it gets updated.
