Im having real trouble deciding between these two computer option sI have.

A: I could buy a 20" iMac as well as cheap netbook with internet just for when I go on vacation or it might be helpful to take to places when i have to stay there or im bored.

B: I could buy a 13" macbook.

The reason im leaning towards the imac is cause i dont leave that often and dont need a computer on the go so much.
But then i cant take it on the bed and other stuff which is annoying.
But i dont want the laptop cause it has a 13" screen which is smaller then i have ever used.
And im not sure if im allowed to bring a computer to my school to take notes.
(and it would be very acward. Its kinda like a small school and we all sit around one table and everyone else just uses a pen and paper.

So what do you guys think.

The only time i would ever leave the house with my pc is vacation, and traveling.
Im in s real pickle crazy.gif help.gif

O and what r u using right now? laptop/desktop?

Okay I don't like you but I'll help you out. Why do you want to go with mac? I use a macbook and a PC, and tbh I'm no computer guru in the sense that the OS / software matters to me that much. Are you going for performance, looking cool, OS preference, what? What's your price range?

If you don't have to have a macbook or iMac, you can get a more powerful laptop that's not a mac if you buy well, not a mac. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing mac, but if I had a choice of laptops now I'd probably go with a considerably more powerful laptop for the same price.


Why do you hate me! haha
Cause im jewish?
I have a pretty nice pc right now but its vista!
And id rather have a mac than buy xp.
Because a mac is performance and looks:)

I had a desktop/laptop combo setup once and it was cool. Now I'm strictly a desktop user because of how I live but a laptop does have its advantages. It takes seconds to set up shop and start using a laptop. but for a desktop, it'll take me over half an hour to hook up the monitor, internet, and peripherals to the way I like it.

I'd go A so you can have the best of both worlds

Netbooks are quite underrated imo


Netbooks are underated?
I think i might go with option a after all:)
Tell me about netbooks?
Have u had one and did it come with xp or linux?

It's not because you're jewish, it's because I don't think very highly of you intellectually :]

Vista, for your intents and purposes, is not going to assrape you and call you shirley. Computers nowadays are outfitted to support vista, as opposed to installing vista on an older machine that barely meets the requirements. I got my brother a laptop for christmas, vista, and it runs perfectly. Newegg is your friend.

You can take my word on this matter, but if Mipadi corrects me, I don't believe an argument will ensue.
