doing my periodic build&price on a macbook to see if my $3000 savings goal (for which I have saved a whopping $4 so far) is still how much I need and decided to look at the new iMacs and the mid-range model with no upgrades:

is cheaper than what I paid for my current base model macbook 6 years ago (I can't believe I bought this 6 years ago. I've never had a piece of technology last this long it's a miracle)

will meet my needs better than a macbook (or any PC desktop or laptop)

bonus: is aesthetically pleasing (ie comes in pretty colours)

future grunge gets to save $500 by not needing to save an extra $500 it's great

#my current mac has 256gb hard drive and after 6 years it's only 80% full with no major purges #plus i have a 1 tb external hard drive so i'm all set #and since i'm rough on keyboards it'll be much nicer on my wallet to replace just the keyboard after 5 yrs than to get a whole new computer #or replace it with a generic but more durable keyboard for less #and sure the mac mini + a non-apple monitor would be even less $$ but i prefer the simplicity & functionality of an all-in-one #especially one that is portable & will take up so little space since I don't have a space i could dedicate to a permanent setup #but this is so slim & light i can just plonk it on another flat surface if i need my desk
