Okay everyone, I may sell my 17 inch macbook pro, but am not sure.

Option A)

2 GHz Mac Pro,
1 GB Ram
250 GB HD
Nvidia 7300

Apple 20 inch Display

Option B)

20” iMac (waiting for Paris obviously)
2 GB Ram
500 GB HD
ATI x1600 256 MD

Option C)

Keep the macbook pro, get a 300 or 400 dollar dell display

I work a fair amount in photoshop and use dreamweaver. I also you productivity applications, of course, basic computer stuff.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
 
It's simple, do you need a laptop or a desktop?

If you don't need portability get the MacPro with a nice display, if you need both then MBP with extra Display.
 
i'd probably keep the MBP and get an external. do you need portability? even if not, though, you'll probably end up losing a lot on your MBP if you take it to eBay (after fees and paypal, plus the general fact that used items don't sell for their retail value).

though, i guess if money isn't a concern and you're just looking to get the best you can, then there's no doubt the mac pro is a faster machine..
 
You'll be better off just getting an external display with a Keyboard and mouse, makes things easier and less stressful on both you and your wallet.
