What are good selling points to convince the wife to spend a little extra on a machine like this instead of yet ANOTHER craptastic PC?!?!
details
I'm exaggerating a little of course... however, I'm wanting to get an iMac soon and it will be my (*ahem* OUR) first ever Mac. I know what I want/ need it for (Garageband among other things), but are there any features/ programs that would be a nice little 'selling point' for my wife (someone who mostly just surfs the web and has used PCs her whole life...)??? -Thanks!

Target Display Mode - Will it work with 2011 21" iMac and 2011 11" MacBook Air?
details
Trying to work out if I can use Target Display Mode with an official Apple Thunderbolt cable between my MacBook Air 11" (2011) and my 21" iMac (2011). Both have Thunderbolt, so just wondering if this works? I had read something about how Target Display Mode was available only on 27" iMacs but I can't find any reference to how it works on the latest 2011 models? Any help much appreciated.

So, after thinking this, I am considering a desktop over getting a new laptop. My wife just got a Macbook Air and I am considering an iMac. I like the Mac Mini, but the iMac just seems to be a...

Can you transfer files between two Macs using Thunderbolt ports and a Thunderbolt cable?
details
A few months ago, I bought a 15" MacBook Pro. As many of you know, it's equipped with a Thunderbolt port meaning I can utilize the technology to exchange data at an unbelievably fast rate... except that there's not a single consumer-level product on the market just yet. The professional-grade RAIDs I've seen cost upwards of a thousand bucks, not something I'm willing to splurge on any time soon. That being said, I'd love to take advantage of Intel and Apple's brainchild. Does anyone know if it's... Read more →

What are the pros/cons of trading in a Macbook Pro for an iMac?
details
I want to cash my 2010 13" Macbook Pro in & use the money towards an 21" iMac. My computing isn't too mobile. I'm currently commuting with my laptop between home and the office. Where it's role at the office is almost entirely for work, the MBP is mainly used casually at home. I'm also not traveling with it, so I figure my computing is fairly fixed. The 13" screen handles everything mostly fine except for Photoshop or any sort of work scenarios that require lots of windows. It's too cramped. And... Read more →
