Speaking as a first hand iMac user theyre great. Noticeably faster than the top spec MacBook Pro (which I have used a few times as well). I recently also bought a Sonnet thunderbolt express card adapter- instant access to some older peripherals and eSata ports- great if you have a raid. So yes, go iMac unless you NEED portability… which seems to be an odd one these days, the allure of a carryable computer seems to catch a lot of people out, only to realise it sits on their desk anyway. Also in a pinch you CAN carry an iMac under one arm, Ive carried mine to a few studios and its not TOO bad…
