Second on the external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Dollar for dollar, a laptop is always going to be less powerful as a desktop. I have a 27" iMac and 15" MBP... both cost about $2k but the iMac kicks the MBP's ass. Sorry to say. My advice, instead of $2700 for a 17" MBP, get the iMac and a iPad for portable fun. This all depends on what your primary need is. Do you really need a portable workstation or do you just like the idea of it? If those huge photoshop docs are your primary source of work, I would consider power first. For me and web design, almost any computer is powerful enough these days. My biggest issue is screen space with all of the browsers, editors and their palettes that I want open.
- I went for an older matte Cinema Display, couldn't stand the iMac gloss.raf
- I thought that at first and put it off for a long time. I gotta say, now that I have it, I love it and the gloss is no problem.cramdesign
