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 ![]() ![]() O and what r u using right now? laptop/desktop? |

To be perfectly honest. It's not that necessary to even have a mac, yeah, there are a lot of great things about them, if you're going to use them to their full potential, but for just internet, and a few other things, having a PC, is the same thing, and 65% of the time, cheaper.
Option A sounds like the best option for you, as you said, you don't leave home often, and a laptop will not meet your 100% satisfactory needs. Keep in mind though, that a netbook is 99% of the time smaller than a laptop. If you would like to read up on netbooks/minis there are a couple of threads here that offer some discussion. |

I have wanted to get a mac for a long time. The netbook will not be my primary computer. Im going to look for the cheapest one possible and ill only use it for when i travel. |
