Macbook pro + external monitor. Done. Benefits of portable world and home.

 

[Hello.there]

I don't have a MacBook Pro so can't offer any advice at all, at all, at all on that - but I have heard it's a wonderful machine.

But, I do have a 24" iMac and it is spectacularly lovely. Seriously, I enjoy using this computer so much, it's just a pleasure. My main activities on it are writing (a vote for MS Office here), internet, photo and video editing, music, movies, etc, and it works like a dream for all of that. The 24" screen is magnificent, and it's so neat on my desk it's ridiculous.

I also have a MacBook, which I love, but no matter how great the MacBook Pro is I just can't imagine why anyone would choose a 'laptop' over a desktop if mobility isn't the major issue for them. Certainly if you can afford a whopper of an Apple display then the MacBook Pro would be great, but if not....well, here's a vote for the 24" iMac.

Best of luck.

I'm also considering buying iMac 24". Few days ago I played with it a little at shop and when turning back to check also MB and MBP it was quite terrible experience Their displays seemed to me much smaller, dimmer, everything was so tiny... So probably I'll wait a while for update and then go for iMac 24".

If you're at home most of the time get the iMac. You'll love it.
