MBP:



iMac:


They both are similarly specced core 2 duos but I'm wondering what it means to have a huge chunk of inactive memory like that?

Another thing I find is that the temperatures on the iMac are higher but the fan is much quieter and slower although it might just be a matter of how close I sit to the 20" vs the 13" lol
You can't compare the temperatures of a notebook with a desktop.
They're have completely different designs in dissipating heat.
Your MBP only has 1 tiny heatsink with a fan the size of a casino chip, while the iMac has a huge heatsink and 3-4 fans depending on the model.


Inactive memory depends on what programs you are and were running. Sometimes the system won't release the memory as "Free" even after a program was quit.
