The MacFormat team debates the hot Apple

issues of the day, using their iPhones of course!

SPLIT VIEW

“WHICH KIND OF MAC WOULD

YOU BUY TODAY?”

The team says...

That’s easy – the refreshed Mac mini. I love its

tiny size, and the long-overdue upgrades have

made it a powerful little machine.

I don’t own a car. If I needed to take an iMac to

an Apple Store, it’d be a pain to carry. The mini

means I can pick and choose my peripherals

and I can easily carry it elsewhere.

I get that, but it’s not for me. In fact, none of the

current Macs have quite what I’m looking for.

So the iMac Pro isn’t for you?

I’d go for a 21.5in iMac with Retina 4K display.

I use a second display so don’t need the 27in’s

size, but do want the processing power boost.

No, I like the idea of a more modular system

so I can swap out and upgrade components.

For me, that’s a bit too much hassle. I’m happy

to customise at purchase to get the best I can

afford in an all-in-one package.

It has to be the MacBook Pro. I often work

from home so need portability and it’s easy

to take to an Apple Store if there’s an issue.

For me, power overrides portability, which is

why I’m holding out for the Mac Pro.
