My Review: Quad Core power is tough to argue with when doing any serious media work. The 27" 2560x1440px LED backlit screen makes your editing life easier. Color is accurate and balanced. Firewire 800, 4 USB 2 ports, Bluetooth and all flavors of Wifi make connecting and sharing work easy. The iMac is gorgeous to look at and a dream to work on. The wireless keyboard and mouse are comfortable and keep desk clutter minimized. The iMac really makes an ideal editing station.

My Review: For 2011 I'm using the Little Macbook Pro though I'm not really giving up anything from the 15" except for screen size. Of course size matters in the screen but the trade off for the smaller body of the 13" makes the difference. This machine is for field editing and communications, serious editing happens back in the office on the 27" iMac. My main criteria I have in a notebook is durability, connectivity and operability. The mini MBP shines in all categories. The aluminum unibody construction certainly makes it durable. Firewire 800, USB 2, 802.11 a/b/g/n and gigabit ethernet make it connect. Core 2 Duo processors with 8GB RAM make it fly. If size matters - the 13 shines.

Update: We just added new 13" MBP with i5 processor. Holy hell this thing screams. about 2x faster than the Core2Duo
