iMac vs MacBook Pro?

top portable hard drives 2011 image

I'm debating whether to buy an iMac (2011 version, 21.5", 2.5GHz) or a MacBook Pro (2011 version, 13", 2.3GHz). They're the same price in my country and I don't care about the fact that one's portable and one isn't.

I'm interested in: camera (for Skype and Photo Booth), speed, display and graphics, user-friendliness, photo and video editing and just overall 'look' of them. I am a techie person, but not over the top techie so I don't care about all the hard drives and memory and what not on the inside.

You don't have to write me a 15 paragraph description about each one and please don't post links to videos and things, I've seen heaps of them. Just a quick list of simple pros and cons for each one or reasons why one of them is better would be much appreciated. :)
@Martha Did you even read the question? I don't want a MacBook Air or anything else, I specifically asked about Macbook Pros and iMacs.

Answer
I think Macbook Air 1.6 / Macbook Pro (15) 2.5 4gb ram / Mac Mini 1.5 core solo

That's about it. The price comes about 10.000$. That's no problem. The problem is are all those parts compatible?

Only answer if you know!!! Don't leave comments about the system here!! Other things like wireless cards and stuff, will be installed later on. Norton Internet Security 2011 will also be installed. I'm pretty sure it can handle games, but can it max them out????



Thanks.
Hah, thanks a lot. I am already checking and double checking the components, but i just wanted a second opinion. The computer isn't really for me, it's for a close friend living cross the street. When it comes down to computers, he's a complete noob!

That's why i find the parts for him. But he owes me, and he will repay, by letting me playing whenever i want on his pc!

Answer
Yes I've checked and all of them parts are compatible but in the unlikely case that I'm wrong just go to you're nearest computer store and ask the staff.
Hope I've helped.
BTW I WANT THAT COMPUTER!!!!!!!!
