if it starts with "i" it's consumer ... iBook, iMac (except for e which is also consumer -- eMac). Also the color gives it away... if it's white its a consumer machine (at least right now anyway).

If it starts with "Power" its pro .. PowerBook, PowerMac. They are also metal looking materials in the current lineup.

It used to be really bad back in the Spindler days ... when everything was just a model number! hehe. You had to consult a pro to tell anything about them at that point in the game, that and the fact at one point they had 20+ different models on sale all with seemingly random (not that random once you got to know their schemes but nonetheless scattered) model numbers.

I'm glad you do -- I know which hardware I'll continue to buy (NEVER
buy a consumer Mac... they're no better than the Dells or IBMs of the
world).


Very Very Dumb Question : some of you seem to be saying that Apple makes
both sleaze (consumer) and solid (Pro?) machines -- right? How is anybody
but a dyed in the wool alpha plus geek supposed to know sleaze from solid?
