Macbook Pro or iMac for Uni

[wordlessjam]

Hey,

I am going to sell my current 15" unibody Macbook Pro to either get a new 15" Macbook Pro or iMac. I'm not sure which to get though. I would be using it mostly at uni and will be studying engineering.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Depends on your preference and needs. I prefer a notebook because I can be mobile. I'm not tied to my desk. I can go to the library and study or a coffee shop, etc.

I find a laptop to be very handy in college for taking notes. So I would suggest a MacBook Pro.

MBP. A desktop just isn't practical for college use, unless you have something else to accompany it.

MBP is the uni student's best friend. If you need to do a lot of CAD work, consider an external monitor for your desk.

Thanks everyone. I think I will wait until they are updated again. Which could be around October/November time? Cos I noticed with the macs the introduced the other day none of them had nvidia graphics but ati. And if I wait it would be a bigger upgrade as my MBP is from sept '09.

Probably closer to late January for an update. Updates are typically about 8 months with the last update 10 months.
