The things I think about while reading catalog pages

Here's another dilemma I'm having: iMac or MacBook? Both have been recently redone and are shiny and new, but the iMac is shinier and newer, and I'd get a bigger screen and a bigger hard drive and all that good stuff. But I really like my laptop. The laptop aspect of it, anyway. When I'm at home, I like to do my computer business on my bed. (And not just the porn-watching. Is that gross? Should girls not joke about watching porn? Fuck you.) No, really, I like portability. But the MacBook costs exactly the same as the iMac I want, and I get a lot less, screen size, hard drive, processor wise. You know? Is the portability enough to outweigh that? Do I really need a 250GB hard drive? My current laptop's drive is 60GB--that is smaller than my iPod, people. So I'd get a 160GB drive, plus the 80GB external I have already, and that would be enough. Okay. But here's my real problem with the MacBook: its screen is so tiny. My Dell's screen is 17". The display I have at work is 20". Am I going to be able to take the downgrade? I think I'll have to go to an Apple store to find out.

I would buy a 15" PowerBook, but that's two grand. Eff that.
