Hi all,

I need to replace my 14-inch iBook G4 (long story). I've never owned a desktop and I like the idea of being able to use the computer in different places. But I hardly ever take the iBook out of the house anymore, I don't have many on-the-road computer needs, and our apartment is very small so I only ever move it to a different chair or something. I do digital photography and am starting to get into video. Not professionally, yet.

I'm looking at the MacBooks and MacBook Pros, but the iMacs would give me more storage and display and better graphics, particularly for the money.

Are there any hardcore notebook people out there who've switched to desktops? Any regrets? Do you feel tied down, or are you happier with the added power?

Any input appreciated.

Steve
