My new iMac

I just bought my new iMac a week ago.

Yup, that's right, that's my flight day.  I just lugged my things up to the apartment, put them down, and was on my way to the store.  At first, I was shopping for a white MacBook.  Before I left, the 2.2GHz Intel MacBook was priced at 144,800 yen, 15,000 yen less than the 20" iMac.  Both had promos of 30,000 yen less when bought together with an Internet connection. 

Alas, when I went to the store, the discount was gone!  Plus, the YahooBB promo was stopped, too!  Think, think!  With the cash discounts gone, it suddenly became a level playing field for the MacBook and iMac [As light and wonderful the MacBook Air seemed to me, it just wasn't a very good first PC, er Mac rather.  I can be an application-intensive user, and I need higher specs and a bigger disc space to be able to do what I normally do - watching movies and editing photos].

Specs-wise, the iMac was the clear winner.  But can anyone really lug around almost 14kg of computing power?  But is the portability of the MacBook enough to pass up on the higher specs of the iMac?

I consulted everybody with me, and even called home.  Since this will be my first Mac, I figured, the higher spec, the better.  I'll just buy the portable next time.
