Most of what you need can be found at: http://www.apple.com/store.
there are three stationary/desktop macs and two and a half laptops. The Mac mini is small but needs power has no battery and is probably the least capable although it is no slouch. The IMac can be quite powerful and use lots of ram and a capacious hd so it would be well suited for most power apps. The mac pro is the one for serious admin/development and other server or high end activities. Too much computer for me. The macbook air is nice but doesn't have a lot of connectivity and can have heat issues. I don't think it can be a power solution. The Macbook and Macbook pro are excellent and powerfully configureable. The Macbook comes in only one chassie size but unless you want larger than a 13 inch screen, that shouldn't matter so you will want to look over specks and costs to determine what best fits your needs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Krister Ekstrom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 5:45 AM Subject: Stationary or Macbook? - that is the question Hi list. I was determined that when i got my own mac, it'd be a stationary one, preferably an Imac. Now however i'm not so sure. Is it true that the macbooks are a bit less powerfull than the stationary ones? How about connections, storage space and so on? If i wanted to make music and podcasts, would a Macbook suffice for that? How about storage space? I plan to store my albums and maybe my MDs as well, about 300 cds and possibly as many Mds. I could of course buy a separate hard drive, so the storage may not be a problem, but otherwise, what do you advise? Sorry if these are stupid questions. -- /Krister
