Which Mac is the awesomest in every aspect?

Um. Whatever the top spec desktop model is at any given point at the time... maxed out on RAM, hard-drive capacity, video-card and any other extra bits.

Then I'd probably sell it and get a top-notch MBP.

Odd question.

 

This really depends on what you value and what you need it for. The mini is the smallest, the Macbook the most portable, the iMac the best value, the Pro the most powerful.

 

For free though, you have to go with the Mac Pro.

 

I think that's the point. The OP is curious what you personally value most; there's no one right answer.

Anyway, I voted for the mac pro, even though I'd actually prefer a quad G5 (well... at least until the spring anyway).

 

Since I already have a MBP, and because a high-spec'd MP costs way more than a high-spec MBP, I would go with the Mac Pro if it was for free (or if I had unlimited funds)

 

The 24 inch iMac gets my vote, it has the same connectivity as the Mac Pro, includes the huge screen and saves space. In some benchmarks it doesn't trail to far behind the Mac Pro either.

 

i would for sure pick the mac pro, to replace my current g5 powermac

 

Creative use of the the word "awesomest" is enough for me to jump on any poll.

I'd take the maxed out Blackbook. If the MBP were the size of the MB, I'd take it.

 

If we are talking about most powerful well that is the Mac Pro currently without a doubt. If we are talking best looking oh my God look at that sexy hardware I'd say the iMac G5/Intel or the Mac mini.

 

I'd take the Mac Pro because I already have a Macbook and I would love a 30" display and I think the Mac Pro is the coolest desktop ever. Plus I could go for 2TB of storage (for movies).

 

2TB Is that Movies Movies or Movies Movies?

 

Already have a laptop (CD MacBook 1.83), no point in getting another one and I have plenty of room for a computer, so I don't see the point of getting anything else than a MacPro. A huge, powerful quad-core monster also has a lot bigger coolness-factor than a underpowered sandwich-sized mini-computer...

 

this one

 

17" MBP gets my vote, although I would love a Mac Pro as well.

 

Mac Pro and a Cinema doesn't get any better than that

 

Since I already have a Mac Pro with ACD I'd like a pimped out 15" MBP!

 

Where's the Xserve RAID choices? I'd love to have a huge server with Xsan.

 

What an easy poll! Duh, I'd want a Mac Pro + Cinema Display.. what's hotter than that??

 

If it had to be my only Mac I'd pick a 15" MBP (as long as it doesn't still double as a Hibachi).

I'm fairly mobile but I like having the power of a desktop around. The Macbook is underpowered for this purpose, and the MBP does a passable imitation of a half-decent desktop when paired with an external display, for which you don't need any fiddly converters. The 17" is too big to be regularly portable, while the 15" is bearable.

In fact this is what I expect to be doing soon - I'll be dumping the 17" MBP and going for 15" now that I have the Mac desktop.

 

I think a lot of people are choosing a maxed out Mac Pro because it is the most expensive and they are thinking about selling it and getting what they *really* want.

But I don't think that was the intent of the poll!!!!!!!

I think the point of the poll was: which Mac would YOU rather use, day in and day out?

For example, I chose the MBP 15" because I would NEVER get any kind of desktop computer. I don't even have a desk at home to put a monitor on for cryin' out loud!

So that leaves the MB and MBP. I think 17" is just too big for my tastes, so that leaves the MB or the 15" MBP. I place a premium on portability, but I love the power of the MBP and the 15" weighs just 0.4 lbs. more than the MB, so that model gets my vote for most kick-ass overall Mac.

P.S. Gawd people, don't take these polls so literally!! I mean, I don't think the intent of the poll was THAT hard to discern. This is not the first time that I've seen a very interesting, hypothetical poll question rendered worthless by people reading it too literally.

 

Again, I don't think this was the point of the poll

The point is not "I'll get a desktop because I already have a laptop" or "I'll get a laptop because I already have a desktop". That makes the question much less interesting. I think the point of the poll was to find out what people's *absolute* preferences were in their *primary* computer.

The point is: when you got your MacBook, would you have preferred an MBP? Or did you get the Blackbook because you wanted the most powerful computer at the smaller 13" form factor?

Ask your self this: if you could have only ONE computer, could you really limit yourself to a desktop, or would you miss the portabillity. For me, there's no way I could go back to not having a laptop, so the MBP gets my vote.
