Well my wife's crappy pc laptop finally gave up the ghost last week and I have convinced her to go Mac. I also have convinced her to allow me to purchase all new equipment for our home office that she works out of for her own business. I'm trying to decide what 21.5 iMac to buy the base or the upper. I get educational pricing cause I'm a teacher so it is a $250 upgrade to the one with a faster processor, larger hd, and slightly better graphics. It will be used for her business creating documents for her work nothing super power intensive. It will also be our families main home computer for our kids for the next few years. I'm also planning on getting a 2 TB time capsule as backup for the iMac and her new laptop so is the $250 better spent on something else instead of the better iMac?

Was leaning toward the base 13 mbp for her laptop she would use iMac mainly at home, but would also need a portable computer for events she runs. Any imput you all have would be awesome. Thanks,
