Tomorrow I go to a shop to buy a mac. No matter what! Basically It's either a 20' iMac or a Macbook. I'm convinced about the iMac due to desktop power vs. portability but maybe I'm having doubts? Anyone out there to convince me otherwise?
Faster processing, much larger and faster 7200 RPM storage, dedicated VRAM up to 256 MB and a big bad beautiful display for page layout or multi-tasking or movies.
Go for 2 GB RAM if you can.
My daughter and her roommate both have Apple notesbooks at college.
They leave them chained to the table with their security cable.
