I dont have much of an opinion, though I would go for the iMac due to the larger screen, but I do have my own question regarding mac laptops. I have an eMac, specced up fully, and am thinking about getting a mac laptop, either ibook or macbook, as its gonna be sooo much easier to take with me abroad. Ideally I like to do a straight swap for something, as funds are seriosuly limited. My question is, does anyone know any mac places that offer part exchanges or would prove useful to ask?
