I want one of the new aluminium imacs they look better than the white ones, but due to their newity, there are hardly any of them on ebay and those that are there are over a grand.

Looking to get a couple of mac books for use on the sofa and a iMac as a main machine sometime in the future.
I can use an imac on the sofa also, because my sofa has a coffee table and a plug socket right infront of it. So I can use my imac whilst watching TV. Hence why I am stuck between the two because if it's just about portability, both of them are adequate.

Go for power. I really think you will find you get more use out of it. The only thing is you won't be able to do is to take it to college.

All said, it's still easier to lug around a laptop than a desktop.

The black glass and aluminum iMacs look lush. I want one bad.

But we are talking about a second hand machine here and it will be a while it is replaced. You will get more machine per pound with a desktop just because the mac books hold there value better.

I'll probably never move away from windows, i'm too used to it now. I used a mac before at my old school but I hated them, they're so difficult to use and the display menu is very cheap and tacky looking.

As with everything it takes time to get used to something.

The new Mac OS is very professional looking and it will be worth taking a look at when it comes here in October.

Windows Vista is a cheap rip-off of OS X...

I'm not too keen on vista anymore, I used to like it. The only reason that i'd buy it is for entertainment purposes only because I like the new Dell vista PC, widescreen and lots of entertainment extras on it.

It's not hard to change over to OS X from Windows and once you have you don't want to go back.

Update, my brother gave me his imac and got himself a macbook pro. So I spent my money on a dell gaming computer with vista and xp pro installed with a 3.8ghz pentium 4 HT processor, with 2 gig ram, 250gb hdd and a 20 inch screen.

I still have to buy it a mouse and keyboard before I can properly use it, but I should be able to get them on Saturday, my day off from the night shifts.

So on Saturday night when X-Factor comes on and a partially abandon big brother for it (because BB8 sucks), I'll be posting from my brand new dell game pc.
