For Christmas my dad has given me the chance to either have a Imac apple computer or Macbook pro. I really want a macbook pro because I can move around the house unlike if i had an Imac i cant go downstairs as it would be in my room as ive always wanted a computer/laptop in my room for myself. But i was wondering which one is better in terms of memory etc.
Help please

Hm. Can you give a link?

The fastest processor that has ever come in an iMac or Macbook Pro is 3 GHz.

The reason I ask is because of the specs. You definitely want one with an Intel processor, not an older G4 or G5 processor.

Those specs sound good. That's a quality laptop.

A 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo is very, very fast.

Yes there are but they're not necessary for 90+% of users.

Core 2 Duos max out at the E8600, which is 3.33 GHz.
