Compare between Apple Mac computers
I am thinking about purchasing an Apple Mac computer. But I am confused between the different types of Apple Macs available. I am clueless how to make a choice.
Is there any website or a resource that I can check which lets me compare the different offerings? It would be nice if I can compare between different computers side-by-side to see how the features and specifications differ?
Solution 1:
Apple's official website has a compare section for Macs where you can compare between three different models of Mac simultaneously. You can access it by going to the following link:

When making a purchase decision, the first distinction that you have to make is whether you are looking to buy a desktop or a laptop.
Broadly speaking, Apple currently makes three kind of laptops:
MacBook Air - A 13" ultra-portable.
13" MacBook Pro - A lightweight laptop for professionals.
16" MacBook Pro - A spec heavy laptop geared towards users needing extreme performance.
and three kinds of desktops:
Mac mini - A bare bones lunch-box size computer sans display, keyboard and mouse.
iMac - A fully integrated desktop computer.
Mac Pro - An expandable desktop tower for users requiring extreme performance.
Once you have filtered down to the determine computers that you are looking to choose from, head over to the Mac - Compare Models web-page and select the desired ones. You can compare upto three different computers at a time.
Here's a comparison between a 16" MacBook Pro, a 13" MacBook Pro and a 21.5" iMac looks like:
