Macbook pro all the way. You can travel with it and it's supposedly the best of the best :)

Hard to give an opinion when we don't know what you need from a computer :P Do you want something portable, or something productive?
MacBook Pro. An iMac is just a MacBook in a screen so the Pro would have better specs and you could always hook it upto a TV if you needed to.

hmmm, i know. only thing is i like the idea of an all in one, i don't really take my current laptop anywhere cause i just use my phone. but i'm still definitely undecided.

either gomme, and i only really use it for basic internet browsing, msn and music... so nothing special. really don't need anything as good as the two but i want one and can't decide haha

Seems a bit wasteful in my opinion, and both are more than capable of providing for that, but the Pro has the upper hand by being portable.

in your opinion is that the only thing making the pro better than the imac?

Pretty much :P I'd probably go for the iMac myself as I find desktops of any sort more productive and comfortable than a laptop, but the Pro is in essence a powerful laptop. It depends what you're comfortable with. Both do what you want, it just depends if you want a larger screen for productivity of a small screen to make it portable. That's how I base it at least :P

I'm bias as i have a Pro, but like others have said, they all basically do the same thing put a Pro is portable, so kinda speaks for itself.

If you have to ask, don't buy either.

I have and love an iMac. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
But that's me. If you think you're going to want to go portable buy the pro.

Same,
When I had my old Laptop, I just used it on my bed, But when I got a iMac, It just over powers everything in my room with its screen.
Plus I can still lie on my bed and use it with the wireless mouse and keyboard :],
plus you'll get a bigger screen.
macbook pro cos its portable
