I just don't know what to do at the moment guys.... I can:

a) get the Macbook pro 17" laptop ($2899 refurbished) or
b) get the iMac 27" ($2047 - with student discount)

I know this is a question that really only I can answer but I wouldn't mind a little bit of help.

I am primarily using it for
*photography
*university studies
*using the web
*a little bit of gaming.. (does anyone know if you can hook a xbox 360 up to the iMac?/ think you can)

I don't travel a whole lot at the moment...
The laptop would be good for taking it around to peoples places to show them photos, (I do alot of surf photography and football matches) but I know I can just put it on a disk and take this around anyways.
