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? |

Honestly we can't force you towards a choice. We can only offer suggestions that would help influence your decision
Neither of these are bad choices. However, even I would pick choice A because I was a barracks rat (basically staying at home like you) and I never felt like leaving base (it was in the desert, a good 60 miles from any civilization) and I had both a desktop and a laptop, and I would use the desktop 99% of the time I was at the barracks. The other 1% were the times I drove to San Diego and I took my laptop then. But like mipadi stated, it's not like the 13" Macbook can't also utilize additional accessories like a external monitor/keyboard to have it behave like a regular desktop if you so wish. Most of the workstations at my current shop are actually laptops enclosed in a desk tray with a CRT sitting on top of it. Then we plugged in regular keyboards and mice and then it became more or less a regular desktop. It's just that with choice B you end up spending more money to equal the setup of choice A but you will have a more powerful portable device in the long run But you know, it's up to you |
