    What type of work are you planning to do? unless you do 3D, there is no need to worry about video card.
    I say macbook pro, matte. the only department it is going to be slower in is hard drive. "only" means it is a bottleneck for overall computer performance. Best you can do is order a 7200rpm drive, but even this will not be a match for a 3.5" drives that afaik are used in iMacs.
    What laptop do you have btw? Is it worth keeping two of them? I use a macbook witn an external lcd and would never swap this for having 2 computers I'd have to keep in sync.
