What is your favorite mac and least favorite mac that apple ever released?

Favorite: Imac g4

Least favorite: Ibook g4 14in
 
Favourite: Power Mac Dual G5
Least Favourite: iBook G4 (mainly because mine needed repairs 5 times)
 
Favorite: iMac G5

Least favorite: hockey puck mouse (I know, it's not a "mac" - but I still hate it)
 
Favourite = Cube. I reckon they could get a Core Duo in that little bugger if they tried. BRING BACK THE CUBE!!!!

Least Favourite = tray loading iMac G3. Sure it's an icon but the slot loaders were sooo much better.
 
Fav mac are the Dual / Quad processor G5 and 68000(what a great processor) based macs

least: any apple running mac os 6 - 9

Most --> TAM

Least --> Color Classic
 
favorite: iMac G4 [Why why why did they get rid of the design!!!] or PowerMac G5
least: hockey puck mouse and all iMac G3's
 
Favorite: Pismo

Least favorite: 12" PowerBook G4 (interesting to me that mwpeters8182 listed it as the favorite...the screen is no better than a 12" iBook and it's overpriced IMO...iBook is 90% of the speed at 2/3 the cost.)

*Bonus favorite vintage Mac: PowerMac 5500. All-in-one, integrated TV tuner...I still have one for watching cable TV while surfing the web or playing WoW!.

*Bonus least-favorite vintage Mac: LC III - I used to own two, down to one with 20MB of RAM and a 160MB hard drive. Dunno what people saw in these other than low price. System 7.5 is slow as crap.

macOSX-tastic are you including the B&W G3 in that? I thought it was a great machine, not far behind the Pismo.

I forgot about the Apple ///

Still would go with the Color Classic but the Apple /// would not be far behind.

Yeah, I never liked the look of the /// at all... 😎

 
Favourite: iMac G4, Plus (first Mac I used), LC (owned). You never forget your first!

Least: eMac. 'nuff said.
 
I bought the 12" PB when there was more of a gap between the two. For the last year of so, it's been a terrible deal, I agree. I needed the ability to run it closed with an external monitor, which I wouldn't do with the hack (overheating issues), and needed the extra 32 MB of video RAM.
 
Favorite: Pismo

Least: Any gray box from the 90s (even if I loved both my Performa 630 and PM 7500 at the time, those machines (and every other Performa, Quadra, PowerMac (until the B&W), etc. were butt ugly...)
