or a

MacBook

13-inch glossy widescreen display
2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory

They're the same price, and with the MacBook I can carry it around, obviously, but, with the iMac I have a second screen I can use.

Help?

Whats the use of a second screen?

Two screens is a bigger, better experience on the computer.  It's fucking amazing.

This is true.

I voted for the MacBook, because it's portable. It depends on what you want to use it for though. College work? Gaming? The iMac has a better graphics card (by far) so if you're thinking of utilising that, then that should be a factor to consider. Do you need the screen size? Are you just going to be using it in one place? Because there's no point in getting a MacBook if you're not going to move it much (it would also damage the battery if you always keep it plugged in).

You can use a second screen on a MacBook too, I am now. You just need to get the mini-DVI to DVI converter.

Well, I am a High-School student so, some school work,

I'm a TV production student, so often I might have to do a lil' editing here and there for the school.

I'm pretty much going to really not to move it much, because I feel that I'm a retard and it'll get ran over by a truck or something.

and Manic,

I'm not going to have that battle right now.

i'd say iMac if you aren't going to move it around much... itrs bad for the battery to keep it plugged in all the time on a macbook. also, upgrade the memory...

---

I will when I get the money.

You should probably look into getting more RAM though. 2GB is pretty standard nowadays, even in Macs.
