numb 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 initally we had the intention of just getting a 24" iMac and put it at the TV console area and use it as a home-theater system...But the 3k odd price is over our budget...so we drop the idea...Then so "suay" the missus laptop went bonker, so we got the 17" iMac for her home use...soon to be trf over to the new place lah...Wah a MBP...are you in the design line or something?for normal usage, a MB should suffice right?

applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 oh i got the lower end MBP which they were trying to clear last yeartwo main reasons for MBP over MB1. size of screen - 15" vs 13"2. ease of maintenance - metal vs white plasticwas using a ibook and it was a nightmare trying to maintain the pristine white me not in design line, just prefer mac over win pc coz of the problemshonestly, have not 'met' a PC that i haven't manage to get it 'hung' coz i'm a shortcut key persontoo many commands keyed in and PCs just give me the blue screen of death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
numb 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 but wouldn't a MBP aluminium casing more prone to scratches???that's what my colleagues who own MBP said...heart pain to see a scratch on a 3k plus machine...even the lower end one...Well, i do agree with the windows' prob...hence i decided to get a iBook at the time...and manage to convince missus to get the iMac too...If i were you, and not having any budget constraint...i will get the 24' iMac anytime!!
