I currently have a trusty 15-inch Santa Rosa MBP (2.4 GHz), but I've been lusting after a unibody MBP. I was all set on getting the i7 15-inch MBP with the high-resolution, anti-glare screen . . . then I went to my brother-in-law's house and futzed around on his 27-inch iMac i7. Oh my. What a machine. I priced the two computers out. The 15-inch MBP i7 with the options I want would cost around $2,400. So would the top-of-the-line iMac. But the iMac has that epic screen. And four cores.
I've been a laptop warrior for about a decade now, and I swore I'd never go back to a desktop machine. I like taking my work with meI often work in coffee shops or cafes. Most of my work requires little computing power: I mostly write. But I'm also a photographer and I'm getting into HD video production. So more powah is good. I know the i7 MBP goes like stink, but the i7 iMac goes like stink squared.
Anyway, now I'm torn between the two machines. I absolutely love the feel of the new unibody MBPs. But the iMac is just so glorious.
I know it's like comparing apples and oranges, but hey.
Just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.
