I have been wondering which is better. They are only a few hundred dollars and I do not want to regret a decision like this. Which has more pros on its side?
 
iMac - stronger video card, faster processor, more upgrades available.

MacBook - totally portable.

If you are looking for an every-day use computer, either one will work: the iMac just ties you to your desk while you can take the MacBook anywhere.

If you are going to be doing a lot of processor-heavy tasks or 3D modeling, get the iMac: the juiced-up processor and video card will be worth it.

I got my first Apple (an iMac) last September and I love it! However I'm going to get a MacBook (Black) really soon so I can take my Mac with me.
 
I found the the desktop iMAC to be an overall better performer than the macbook. Macbooks are fine if you really need portability, but there's nothing that matches a desktop connected to cable or high speed phone line. By contrast, WiFi is not always predictable.
