Computer set-up: Option 1 or 2

[VerdiShmerdi]

I am debating two different scenarios:

1) Buy a new iMac for home and a netbook/cheap full-size laptop for classes/exams.

2) Buy a new Mac Book Pro and get a nice 24" external monitor for a couple hundred bucks.

I want to have the best set-up possible at the place where I will be doing most of my work, which is home. If a netbook is pass-able for note/exam-taking, Option 1 seems awfully attractive.

I think the answer depends on you. I personally don't like small ass computers so if I chose option 1 I would go with a nice cheap laptop not a netbook to go along with my iMac.

I plan to buy a MacBook Pro and then just buy or build a nice Windows based desktop with dual or triple screens. I am also going to have Windows running on my Mac so I don't have to worry about non-Mac affiliated stuff. Good luck with your decision.

I would get a cheap laptop and a nice desktop.
