Mac Users: I need an opinion

[Cleo]

I wasn't sure if Docholly was looking for a laptop or desktop Mac.

The Mac mini is decent for the price, especially if you already own a display. The iMac are very nice, surprisingly powerful, machines too. Most of the print shops and design studios that I know use Mac Pros but they are mammoth expensive machines.

For an entry level laptop the white Macbook is a decent laptop. The aluminum Macbook has a nicer case but no firewire port which might be a problem if he is working in design since firewire is used extensively. The Macbook Pro has everything including a better screen, backlight keyboard, firewire, and a cardbus slot.

For students Apple has special deals.
