Which would you buy??? Mac desktop vs. Mac laptop

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

so I'm torn between the two, lookin to spend between 1200-1400 for a new mac and can't make up my mind on what i want. I've got a solid desktop now, but the I-Macs are freakin crazy.

But then again if i got the laptop it would never leave my side but then I have to buy all the extra wireless card, battery, chargers and all that jazz....

thoughts?

lets please not make this a mac vs Pc debate cause we all know Mac>PC

if you can find a laptop that meets your requirements in your price range then get a laptop.

Considering my iMac has been nothing but a complete piece of shit, I'd say a laptop ... unless you get one of the new Mac Pros, those look fast ... Really, really fast ...

BTW, for someone who doesn't want to turn this into a PC vs. Mac debate, you may not want to throw out the "Mac>PC" comment ... because PC fvcking owns Mac for $1200 - $1400 ...

Mac laptop's come with the internal wireless-g card , a battery, and a AC adapter in the box.

Haha, **** right, with the new 8800M-GTX in it...

That's one hell of a machine right there! My lappy has an 8600GT, but the GTX is 4x as powerful! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

I have a Dell M1710 laptop. Like it a lot over a mac...but to each his own.

I LOVE my laptop over the desktop I had. I can take it anywhere. So much more convenient.

So get laptop.

Mac Air? Lol. Kidding. Don't get one.

pc>mac

just on a software compatibility and familiarity standpoint.

as far as desky versus lappy

thats all based on what your needs are. id do both the expensive desktop and a cheap cheap laptop route.
