Hi Reese & all,I have an iMac and absolutely love it! There's no tower, everything is built into the monitor, so there are fewer cables to worry about. It's quiet, boots up very quickly and is just a pleasure to use. Mine came with 2 GB of RAM, but I upgraded it to 4 GB. It has a 320 GB hard drive and an INtel core 2 Duo processor running at 2.66 GHz.
It takes up very little space on my desk, and it's just a great all around machine!
If you want something portable, of course, then the MacBook Pro is probably a good choice.
