New/Old computer for me?

[aaron.lee2006]

Looks ike I'm gonna have a little money left over after my PS3 so I might pick up an iMac G4. I need something to replace that awful PC desktop of mine. I still love my MBP though. I just need a desktop to come home and do schoolwork on rather than pulling out my laptop all the time.

Why not spend the money on an external monitor+keyboard+mouse for your MBP. You'll be disappointed with the G4s performance if a MBP is next to you.

So many people have told me this but I just need a desktop lol I need something to come and sit down too. I don't know why. I think it is something to do with the open space. Sounds weird but I like it. And I use G4's at school and love them. the are eMacs and I dont I like the performance, it isn't bad.

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me the store? And what are the specs of your imac g4?

The G4 iMacs are one of the coolest looking machines by far. That being said, I use my macbook with an external 22" apple cinema display and apple bluetooth keyboard and a logitech mouse and I use it as a desktop 80% of the time. It works great and I never have to worry about what is on which computer. I definitely recommend it, but if you want a desktop, G4s are great if only for the cool factor

I want an iMac G4 so bad!

Why not just get a mini or a low end 17" imac? They will give you better performance than a g4.

What store is it?
And what is your processor speed?

I would suggest you just get an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. You could even get something like this: http://www.bookendzdocks.com/Docking_Stations-Docking_Station_for_15_MacBook_Pro_Firewire_800.html It will make it feel alot like a desktop. If you wanted you would not even need to use the internal display.
