nebulousforce -- thanks so much for your reply and for your thoughts about the iMac. I'm glad to know that your iMac has been great and that you recommend getting one. That makes me feel more...

Interesting. I had always assumed that Apple would use mail-in service for repairs. That could be a real hassle for people who don't live close to a service center.

The ergonomics is a big issue for me -- while I could use the portability of the MacBook, I'm not crazy about craning my neck down to look at it. One solution would be to prop it up on something and...

Well, turns out mine doesn't have the plastic, which just means it runs hot even with the proper ventilation.

Thanks, everyone, for the helpful replies -- I'm still thinking it over, but I am leaning towards getting the iMac.

I had one more thought/question: how is the Airport on the iMac. On the...

Yeah, that's one issue I'm weighing -- whether or not I'll miss the portability. But having the advantages of the iMac (larger hard drive, larger and higher-res screen, dedicated video card) might...

Oh, one more thought (not sure how many will be able to answer this unless you've compared the 17" iMac and the 20" side by side) -- aside from screen real estate, is the 20" screen that much better...

Whoa -- that's interesting. Gonna have to check mine out when I get home tonight. Perhaps that'll explain the heat my MB gets. (Though if it doesn't have the laminate, it just means I got a really...

Might switch MacBook for iMac. Any concerns? 1,824 Views / 27 Replies  
Hi everyone -- I'm giving some thought to exchanging my MacBook for an iMac. I like the MacBook a lot, although I'm a little disappointed that mine gets hot, moos, and whines like so many others....

Yeah, opening Photobooth does "fix" it, though it's too bad we have to open another program to fix a strange noise. I hope that there will be a software fix -- and that the whine isn't a hardware...

On your MacBook, is the whine loud when it's plugged in and the battery is not fully charged and is in the processing of charging? I noticed last night that mine whines, but that the whining is...

Thanks for the replies -- good to know that it's a normal thing. I guess I just didn't notice before, and since this was the first time I was charging and using the computer at the same time, the...

Hi everyone -- I'm new to the forum. I haven't used a Mac since the early days, when I had a Macintosh Plus before they even put hard drives in them. I used Macs up until System 5 or 6 and then...

I purchased a base model Macbook last week (the day Apple announced them), and I just noticed the whine. This really bums me out because it didn't whine until now. It has (until now) been perfectly...
