Macintosh Buying Guide:
Software and Product Reviews, White Papers, News and Buying Advice


Being a Macintosh user living in a PC-dominated world can make even the most impassioned Mac supporter feel a little like a computing black sheep at times. Yet as Apple continues to innovate and even increase its share of the desktop market, there are more and more options available for associated hardware, software and accessories. The number of options may actually trip up your decision making, especially if you’re new to the Mac world and are unfamiliar with the selections. Should you buy a Power Mac, Mac Mini, Powerbook, iMac, or iBook? What are your choices for hardware like printers and scanners? What are the differences in operating systems and software? That’s when it’s time to consult the Macintosh Buying Guide to help you determine what best fits your needs and budget.
