Macworld Editor and fellow forums moderator Rob Griffiths has written about the right Mac for you. This is one of the most common questions in the forums. Add in the new Intel Macs, the imminent Mac Pro, and the school year fast approaching, some people really aren’t sure what to get.
Despite all the specs, it’s still a personal thing.
So now assume your friend tells you all of the above, and then asks which car to buy. Now you might have a few recommendations, but I bet that all of them would end with the same general advice: “You need to go look at and drive each of these vehicles to see if they really do meet your needs.” Nobody would blindly purchase a car they’d never seen or driven, based solely on the recommendation of a friend. And in that observation lies my answer to the question of which Mac someone should buy.
With the proliferation of Apple Stores, this is easier than ever. For latops, errr notebook, this is doubly true. You can play with your ruler all you want, but you can’t get a feel for one without touching it. Rob breaks it all down exhaustively, so check it out if you’re in the market.
