Favorite Macintosh

Just curious.

Dont give me "I wouldnt buy any in either way cause nobody gives a damn jack why" :who's your daddy:

I've heard about iBook defects....can anyone explain?

so I picked the PowerBook 15" over a G5 or iMac b/c I could put it on the same desk as my x86 gaming rig :who's your daddy:

I chose the 12' g4 ibook. In fact this is what I recently got. My choice for this is sort of a long story. At work I used to do a ton of graphics work on an old g3 500hz desktop. I kind of hated it. OS9 didnt really appeal to me over xp.

When os10 came out, I was pretty impressed, but still had never sat down to use it. When I finally decided to go ahead and get a mac, the ibook just looked right for me.

I needed something portable and powerfull. As a photographer, I hated not being able to have my digital darkroom with me at all times. After pricing pc lappies, to get anything decent would have broken the bank, and they were pretty clunky.

Just as I talk myself out of a g3 ibook, because of lack of cdr on the base and all that hoo hah, apple goes right ahead and releases the g4 ibook. I was sold. I toyed with the idea of getting a powerbook, but couldnt justify the cost. I wasnt sure how well a mac would fit my lifestyle, or even if I would like being in the mac world or not.

I absolutely love this thing.

Many thanks for all the great developers here, whithout whos apps, I would never have thought of switching

iBook. I love laptops much more than desktops, but I usually need the power.

Also, Im going to bring this up AGAIN:

Half the things you listed aren't macs. Only the e,i,and powerMACs are Macs. Macintosh is a product line, not a type of computer (and the iPod isnt even a computer).

This is so easy, my favorite Mac would be a Dual top of the line G5 (2gigs?), 23inch cinema display, 5.1 speakers, and OSX 10.3.

#97337

I'd prefer the 15" PowerBook with lots and lots of add-ons and upgrades... Up the RAM and HDD, get a set of those cool sound sticks, a wireless mouse, and whatever software bundle I can lay my hands on.

Without budget constraints, that is.

Gotta be the Dualie 2GHz G5. Especially since it's winging it's way to me.. !

#97357

I won't vote until someone puts the G4 Cube on the list of choices <_< .

#97364

only ONE other person chose the iMac 20-inch???

#97385

My favorite mac is the Powerbook 17" because I already have it!! :6 :6

#97390

id get a cube... and am planing to get one some day.

id love to have the 23 inch cinema hd display....but i dont have 2000 bucks laying around.

so ya add the g4 cube!

#97395

If I had to have one it'd have to be a laptop, desktops are just too bulky to sit on my lap.

#97456

2 new options added- the G4 Cube and Pre-G3 Macs.

Even when i just bought my Dualie 2.0 baby, i voted for the 20'' iMac.

If it came with a dual processor and 64 bit sweetness i would not hessitate to buy the iMac.

Also if i had a lot of money too, no need to buy thinking of the future expanson to 64 bit computing

Stealing my Dualie 2GHz™ are you Seph? :banging:

On Topic; I've heard many more manufacturing complaints from the PB 15" than the latest iBooks (such as white-spots, case warpings, lid not closing straight).
