Find the perfect Mac for your lifestyle
Apple's line of Mac desktop and laptop computers is pretty significant when you lay it out like this. When you take into account the different processor speeds, core options, and upgradable specs, your options are practically unlimited, which means picking the perfect Mac can be tricky. Apple also updates its Mac laptop lineup yearly and desktop lineup every two years, if not more often.
The desktop lineup, which includes the iMac, the iMac Pro, the Mac Pro, and the Mac Mini, are ideal for stationary computing whether you're a hobbyist writer or a professional movie editor. For a more portable workflow that can work in a desktop situation, the Mac laptop line, combined with a compatible monitor brings versatility to your computing life.
If portability is your number-one priority, our personal pick will forever be the MacBook Pro because of how versatile, sleek, and powerful it is. Whether you're a writer, a photographer, a student, a parent of four, or anything in between, the MacBook Pro will make your life easier in one way or another.
Maybe you're looking for a desktop computer instead: the large and in charge iMac Pro packs quite a punch with its 1TB of storage space and a striking, stunning retina display.
