Which Mac?

With the different types of Macs all separated into their own sub-forums, it's hard to get a read on exactly how many folks are using which type of Mac.

edit:

My only Mac at the moment is my MBP. However, the siren's song that is the Mac Pro calls to me regularly. I don't really need a desktop for now so I think I'll wait to see what new stuff comes out over the next few months rather than jumping in now just for the sake of getting another Mac.

MacBook - my only Mac. I was playing with an iMac in PC World today though, which got me thinking....

Macbook for me, I expect there'll be quite a few here too.

Edit: Me too RNDdave, It's my only Mac but I really want the 20" iMac...

macbook mainly, however i occationly go on my g4

You might want to add PowerBook to the poll.

My PowerBook G4 is my primary machine which I use the most. My G4 Cube is mainly for music, adium and light tasks.

I use a powerbook too, and a Mac Mini. Love them both, but prefer the powerbook.

People seem to like laptops!
I can't be doing with them really and never understood the need to have a portable computer :black:

Maybe it's an American thing - pickup trucks, SUVs and laptops!!

I'm in the UK - I love my portable computing - the ability to take my laptop in the lounge and keep up with Mac-Forums whilst watching 24 or to be able to enjoy the sunshine but still speak to a friend on MSN that's in another country or what ever - loads of uses for portable computing - businesses for example - field sales reps - field accountants - Students - portable computing for students can be very useful.

Loads of uses for notebooks/laptops

MacBook. It's currently my only Mac. (Did I say "currently"?)

I voted wrong. I thought it said which do you want most. So I voted Macbook. I really use an iMac most.

PowerBook G4 (667 DVI) and a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth (getting upgraded to dual 1.3ghz cpu's, 2gb ram, 9800 Pro 256mb)

I've been using a Mac mini for the last 18 months – my switching machine. I'm going to be buying a new iMac in the next month or so.

My gorgeous iMac G5 ... only one kernel panic so far.... touch wood. And soon a spanking white Macbook. White rocks (hey, no wrong puns to be interpreted here).

I'm in a bit of a quandry; I suppose I use the MacBook slightly more than my G4 iMac and the iMac slightly more than my PowerMac but I don''t want to upset either of them by saying so publicly.

I only listed the models currently available from Apple, since it seemed like the easiest demarcation.

Not necessarily, I am in the UK, and as already said, I prefer my Macbook.

I need a laptop because I spend 90 per cent of my life in bed, so I can't necessarily have an iMac stuck on my bed. I Have a bed tray and a USB lamp and it is great to be able to sit in bed and compute, otherwise I would be struggling.

The Mac Mini is downstairs, so when I can get downstairs I have a small setup ready if needed. I would not be without a laptop though, even if I didn't have to be bed bound.

They are great to take on holidays to watch DVD's and the like, and good on a flight. You can also set them up in-car for entertainment. Portable computing has many, many uses!

I primarily use my macbook pro for personal stuff, and edit videos on my quad g5
