except you can get matte external displays....
You are not comparing "apples with apples" excuse the pun.You are comparing i3-i5 imacs with i7 macbook pros.
Wheres the macbook pro that beats my 2.93 Ghz i7 imac??
The screen is surely much nicer on an iMac?
Particularly now you have smartphones for web browsing, emailing etc, the portability of laptops is less necessary.
