I second the iMac.  Last year when I was in the market for a computer the iMac was a shining bargain among the lineup.  Notebooks carry a huge surcharge for portability, something that you may not even need.  And as already said, repairs, warranty, RAM, etc. is all more expensive with a notebook.  What you get for the price is just fantastic with an iMac.  It was that way with my G5 and even more so now.  This is a fantastic computer.

Well, since I am also getting a new Mac...I say go MacBook/MacBook Pro.  That is what I am going to do.  I want to have the protability, even though I may not use it enough to justify the price.  You mentioned audio.  Do you mean Garage Band?  Or will you be making audio recordings?  If it's the latter, go 'Book because you could make good use of the mobility.  On the other hand, 20" of iMac goodness is mighty tempting.......

definatly garageband, but i may want to branch out into reason(the software) later.

So then you will probably just be using the softsynths/ virtual instruments.  If that is the case, then you don't really need a 'Book.  For me, there are a lot of times that I might want to go record audio somewhere, and portabilty would be really nice, but if it is all software based you can do it at your desk.  Reason is pretty expensive, so if you saved some money and bought the iMac, you would have more left for the software. ::shrugs::

Well, I'm wanting a new Intel Imac.  It has all the power I need, the mac software bundle is excellent, and It's just really space effecient.

[OK, please don't all go quoting the spam part of the post. I do have a life, you know, and I don't want to spend it editing all that crap out. Next time, I'm taking the easy route and just wring the thread's neck. Thank you. -Alien]

iMac. For the love of Steve.

BTW - are we allowed to do this? Mods? Cuz I have some reference linkies I want to whore out, too.

I just bought a 20" iMac and my MacBook 2GHz is on the way.  I have my iMac for home and games with Windoze and I have my MB for portability at college this fall.

Another reason to get an iMac!

If you have an iMac, check out iGo (www.raindesigninc.com/igo.html), its starting at $333 for the sitting version and it's soo cool.I'm gettin one!


By the way, that's the standing version. The sitting version is a bit smaller and has wheels/casters
on the bottom instead of the stands. It's real cool! The standing version is $666.00,
but you can use a higher chair for it.

EDIT: There's one for the mac mini and the iMac G5 or Intel iMac comes with a rain design turntable
on the top to make your iMac spin.

That's a lot of money for something with 0 table space.  I like a multifunction piece of work furniture.

My dad used to use a door on two saw horses.

Personally, I prefer the floor.
