Where to buy cute Macbook accessories?

Should I get a PC + iPad, Macbook Pro, or iMac?

• I'm buying a new computer this summer, with $500 from step dad (and will pay tax), my $400, and my grandparent's $300 towards a new computer. I had made a final decision to buy a Macbook Pro, but then as I started thinking about school (going into freshman in HS), I thought: Should I get an iPad for notes, books, and other educational apps? The thing is, if I got an iPad, I'd have to settle for a PC. But then I also thought: I already have an iPod Touch, I could do all that on there, and I can get an iMac, since most of my computing is done at home. The reason I do most at home, is because I'm embarrassed by my computer: 2004 Dell Inspiron 6000, 2GB RAM, 75GB HDD (sad, right?). With a Mac, I can show off all I want. The thing is: I can get a good All - In - One PC for about $700 (my money + grandparents'), and use the $500 for an iPad plus its tax (Step Dad is paying $500, and will pay additional for tax). So what do you think I should get? Me: Go upstate every once a month or so. Going on vacation in the summer w/ family. Do light gaming (Sims 3, Civ 5, Spore; not much) Plan on bragging about being the only one in family w/ Mac (bring to relatives' houses to prove a point to my cousin that he's not the one w/ the coolest computer) Lots of Word Processing (can use pages on iPad) w/ iPad, I'll have more money to use on accessories (Step dad giving me $500 towards computer, I'll have $350 by June 10) Mostly do web browsing. Want to use in school (high school) If I get an iPad, I can afford to upgrade it every year, but not the Macs Will be reading lots of books next year (will be taking AP English) Lots of notes next year (Doing Government in Social Studies next year) Will use iTunes U if needed Need something to fit in backpack if using in school. Not sure if teacher will allow laptops/ tablets. Mostly do my computing at home So what do you think? Should I get an iMac, Macbook Pro, or an iPad 3? Thanks! Best answer gets 5 ***** for the long reading!

• Answer:

  I'd say a MacBook Pro. It's portable and has all of the features that an iMac has. Also, you could ask your teacher to use it in class. My friend asked and now brings his computer to class to take notes with. I have a Macbook Pro and I really like it. The touch pad is really nice and I'm used to it a lot more than I am with the iMac's mouse. As for iPad, I'd say no because for me, I prefer typing on a keyboard and not a touch screen. :P
