Probably one of the most important and most commonly asked question before buying a mac or, for that matter, any apple, is "Which One ?". So lets compare...
Notebooks (Laptops)
If Apple has one speciality in design, its their laptops. Nah, just kidding. That would have to be their touch-sense. No wait, their ... Anyway, the point is their notebooks are definitely awesome. With Superior performance, looks and a great range for choice, top of the league is the Macbook Pro, which is now, much more affordable. Next comes their Macbook Air, which is overpiced, but the lightest and thinnest with great technical specifications. (Even though it doest have an inbuilt CD Drive) And finally comes the Macbook, which is by the way, a great notebook for general purposes and even for professional ones. And now, yep, I love this part - The Comparison.

Our Suggestion
Our Suggestion is the Macbook Pro. With the best functions, technical spectifications and the widest range for choice, it hard to believe how affordable this is. The Professional Notebook.
Desktops
Apple doesn't really leave you with much choice when it comes to Desktops. The easiest, in terms of setup, is probably the Imac. However Apple also offers the Mac Mini and Mac Pro.(CPU's only).

Processor | 3.33 GHz (2.66 with Intel Quad Core equivelancy) | 3.33 GHz Intel Xeon | 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo |

Our Suggestion
The Imac - Overall the best in terms of performance, affordability and convenience. This CPU-less Mac is stunning both in looks and performance, not to mention that its the only Desktop in which you dont have to buy one of Apple's overpriced but Super-Quality screens. Also has a great range of models.

The Mac Pro is ideal for professional work or if your budget isnt a great problem since you also have to buy a screen, keyboard and mouse, not to mention its high price.
