Mac Pro fully dressed.
8-cores. 16GB. 4 x 750GB drives. RAID card.
Think about it. In 10 years, the Mac Pro above is going to be a complete dog. 10 years ago, the following was the best Mac you could get.
The Flagship Mac Pro of 10 Years Ago
Shipped: November 1997
Processor: G3 233 and 266 Mhz with 512k Cache
Maximum RAM: 32
Hard Drive: 4 GB
Optoical Drive: 24X CD-ROM
VRAM: 2MB
In March 1998, they rolled out an upgrade path. Now you could get 128MB of RAM and a whopping 6 GB drive.
On second thought, I'll take the iPhone.

Are we allowed to fantasize.?
If so, a 64GB iPhone. Mac OS X on a portable device with enough room for my music. That's all I need.

I'll answer this thread's question when Apple releases a 20" laptop with 8-core chips and 256gb of RAM.

It would have to be a MBP. I can live with a different cell phone, but not with a different computer... at least not live and keep my sanity

An iBook G4 1.42 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, And whatever size hard drive I could possibly fit in there. I love the iBook design, the MacBooks just look too wide.
My 20", 2.4Ghz iMac
My first Mac and the Mac I will never get rid of. Does almost everything I need it to do (Well, when I can get some more software!) and I love it
I might maybe say a Macbook Pro instead (The three things that put me off were the price (£600+ more for a MBP than my iMac), there are more MBP problems like exploding batteries, the possibility of dropping it, etc. and that the iMac is more powerful) but my iMac is perfect for me, really.
Yes. The iMac.

As much as i love my MBP, I could not be without my iPhone.
My iPhone can do 80% of what I do on my MBP, but it can also call people and text.

My new 17" HD MBP without a doubt. I use my nano almost every day (still 1st gen and going strong) but I'd rather have to use another player than another laptop.
I'm not lucky enough to have an iPhone but I wouldn't prefer that either. Screen might be a bit small for InDesign!

The fully tricked out Mac Pro lots of folks have been mentioning is a lot like the Mac Pro described in my signature. I love using it..... simply amazing. I truly think everybody's company/university should buy them a machine this nice, if they have serious computing needs.
I'm willing to admit that it takes awhile to get the optimal usage out of three monitors that large. I have moved my office around a couple times during the fall/winter semester, and I think that I'm finally happy with my current monitor configuration.

Macbook 2.2 SR with 4gig ram for sure. It beats any XP system I have owned, even a 2.4 AMD duo and the fact that it is ultra portable is a win win for me.
I am the type to buy a MBP but didn't really need the extra gfx processing as you can use a console for that.
So, Macbook AND an xbox 360 thanks (that is just ONE Apple product )

)3 Mhz, sheesh that would be slow, even slower than the old sinclair zx spectrums who's cpu was a z80A running at 3.5Mhz
