Could a Jumbo MacBook Replace the iMac?

In the lull between Christmas and New Years, Intel released its new Q9000 quad-core mobile processor, and PC maker Acer almost simultaneously its Q9000-powered Aspire 8930G-7665 “extreme gaming” and multimedia notebook computer with an 18″ 1920 x 1080 pixel 16:9 aspect ratio display.

I wouldn't need this at all...

I knew I was coming rapidly to a time where I would have to replace my old Mac with a new one, and I had always planned to get a laptop next. Why? I wanted a good way to catch up on the internet, check my email, listen to music, etc. on the go. But then I got an iPhone, and it frankly does 80 to 90 percent of what I wanted a laptop to do. Instead I got a closeout on an iMac on Black Friday and haven't regretted it - or the significant savings I gleaned as a result.

(I should also add that I depend on Firewire peripherals, and the MacBook's lack of any FW connection officially sealed the deal for me.)
