What's your favorite Mac of all time?

[TSE]

If I could get a Pismo for $100, I would definitely buy it. I've never seen one in real life, but on the internet they look amazing. They are definitely a classic, and I can tell that the black MacBooks are going to go down as classics too in about 3-4 years.

The CUBE.

I never had one but constantly look at them on Ebay. I think it's one of the most beautiful designs for a computer ever created.

 

[Plymouthbreezer]

I vote for the Cube too.

Pair it with a massive ACD, SoundSticks, and a clean keyboard + mouse, ack, amazing!

The one Mac I had that I regret selling, the IIci:

Was the Macintosh IIci the Best Mac Ever?

 

[wwooden]

Still is and probably will always be the Titanium PowerBook. It was so ground breaking at the time with its widescreen display and being less than an inch thick, a complete shift in design and concept. I don't think I will ever get rid of mine.

iMac G4, definitely.

It's a toss up between the G4 Cube and the G4 iMac. Both beautiful machines, but unfortunately getting increasingly under-powered for regular computing use.

I feel the same way. The new iMacs are nice, but not as nice as the G4s and you can't move the screen around as much. One of these days I'm going to pick up a 20-incher, just because...

 

[GGGUUUYYY]

Since i'm picking a "Firewire 800" in a couple weeks so i'll go with it.

MacBook Pro 15 inch Unibody (I don't like the built in battery in the 17 inch)


And the G4 Desktop

iBook Clamshell FTW! My favourite colour was lime one.

 

[Nermal]

I still wish I had my MDD G4. It was my first "Pro" machine and it was great.

 

[Axemantitan]

I like this monster of a cube.

 

[kainjow]

I'll agree with some of the others and say iMac G4. I have one for software development and it's great.

 

[NT1440]

Honestly, the new unibody macbook, which will be my first mac.

But the imac G4, stunning, never been anything like it. Such a great idea.

 

[ihabime]

I've always loved the SE/30, it's such a clean design, everything in a nice tight little package.

Good luck finding one! I can't find a 20" iMac G4 anywhere for love nor money. All I find is 15" 700/800Mhz models, sometimes 17"ers.

I know where one is! The office I used to work in has one. I asked them to tell me when it goes.

The one with the round base? I see three listed on eBay right now.

Ugh, clearly eBay UK sucks then.

Current Macbook Pro 17" it is just drop dead gorgeous!

 

[jaw04005]

The iMac G4. I don't think Apple has even come close to topping it again. It was truly unique.

 

[Raid]

I'll always have a soft spot for the Mac plus I used from 1986 to 1995. Solid machine through and through. When I finally got a new computer (Performa 6230CD), the Mac plus was still running so well we gave it (and the extenal HD) away to charity.

 

[Doctor Doom]

My vote goes to the G4 Cube, closely followed by the G4 iMac. I have relegated my cube to a server (its very good as one) And the 20" G4 iMac is VERY beautiful!!! All i need is a 12" powerbook (my 3rd choice) and my collection is complete

 

[Mousse]

+1 for the Cube.

And although much maligned, I also like the granddaddy of mac laptops, the Macintosh Portable (a gorgeous for it's time 9" active matrix B&W screen, 16Mhz 68000 and 16lbs).
