#1 Compaq laptop

Take It on the Road. Weighing in at just 6.39 pounds, this Compaq Notebook Computer will be your constant traveling companion. Featuring an AMD® 1.0 GHz Mobile Duron Processor, a 64 KB L2 on-chip cache, 512 MB of memory, and a 20 GB hard drive, it also includes a large 15" TFT XGA display. Comes with a 56K modem, 3.5" diskette drive, two USB ports, RJ-45 Ethernet port, and RJ-11 modem jack.

#2 Apple Imac

The New iMac. To get one look at the new Apple iMac Computer is to want one. But apart from its striking appearance, it packs the power of a 700 MHz Power PC G4 processor, 128 MB of memory, a 40 GB Ultra ATA hard-disc drive, and a CD-RW drive with additional support for external FireWire and USB storage devices. The built-in 15" active-matrix LCD monitor displays millions of colors at a sharp 1024 x 768-pixel resolution. Also features a 56K V.90 fax modem and 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet connector.

Hmm, I've already got a laptop and a 17" 1ghz iMac....

Do you have the option of getting one or the other for free, or is this totally hypothetical?

 

[rudeguy]

I could get either one for free...I already have a desktop that I love, but I wouldnt mind trying out a mac

 

[UglyCasanova]

I don't have a laptop so I chose #1.

You missed an option for sex.... I would prefer to have sex if it was free.

 

If you already have a desktop, go for the laptop. If you're itching to try an alternative OS, slap Mandrake on there. Voila, instant MacOS (almost).

nope, not yet


let me clear up some details. This is from a manufacturer. I sell their stuff, I get points. Both of these items require the same amount of points. Its either I get one of these or a big screen (which I already have)

Heh, not even close.

But anyway, I think that if I didn't already own a Mac, I'd get the iMac, unless I really had a need for a portable system... which most people, even those that think they do, don't need.

Thats what I was thinking, but most people have voted otherwise.

Have you thought about Ebay or putting an ad in the paper? If you don't really want either I'm sure you can get a decent amount of money for it.

well, I might not have much need for a portal system but I'm sure I have less need for a mac.
