Speaking only for myself I start with a list of:

That is exactly the point. You don't start off saying I need a
"laptop." You start with capabilities and needs.
Yes, and if your needs include taking your computer to class or on
the road,
the very first conclusion one might reach is "iMac is not the
solution".
Please point out what solution to this set of needs Apple provides:
- I need to take my computer to class.
Refurbished Macbook - $849
- I need a decent-size screen and a real keyboard.
Not in class you don't. At home you use a real keyboard and any of a
number of inexpensive flat panel monitors.
- I can afford $1,000 and no more. Less would be real nice.
We're all waiting.
There you go - you get a solid reliable highly portable machine, and
at home you have an even larger screen and a full keyboard.
