I currently have a windows 10 laptop which is pretty good,i just really want an Apple computer as I work with graphics a lot and I've been told they are good for that, also for games,so can anyone suggest the sort of thing I should be looking for as I have no idea about Apple,and I don't want to just buy something on a whim without finding out more,so what type of apple PC is best for grahics and games ? Would appreciate any feedback.:wavey:

Well, you could ask at the Apple shop. Explain to them what are you after and i'm sure they will be able to advice you. Would love an Apple laptop myself. Might get one when they do the next sales :D

Hi Kaz,

Well, if you want a laptop Apple offer the Macbook air and the Macbook pro. The latest MBPro has retina graphics ... but its not cheap :laugh:

It may be a MB air is sufficient for what you want to do and their prices are OK

Apple computers/laptops are veeeerrry very pricey. But they are very worth it though. I've had mine 3 years and its just as fast as it was on the day I bought it.

If you're wanting to play games, I wouldnt recommend the macbook air, simply because there is no where to put a disk for the game. At least not on my version anyway. You're best off with the macbook pro really

Probably the MacBook Pro if you play games, that's the one tbh.

But I would wait a bit as the MacBook Air and Pro are becoming dated and there going to probs refresh their design.

I have the 12 inch MacBook (not pro or air, just called MacBook), which looks amazing but it's not meant for games.

MacBook Pro
MacBook Air
MacBook

are the choices.

Tbh I wouldn't get a Mac if you wanted to play games, quite a lot of games aren't released for Mac and if they are it's usually months after the PC release and they're quite buggy (coming from someone with a Mac)

Although the other benefits far outweigh those of a Windows computer, maybe keep your current computer/laptop for games and a Mac for everything else you want it for

If you don't need it to be a laptop, the best bang for buck is in the iMacs or if you want a small form factor the Mac Mini. With the iMac, it comes with all you would need. The Mac mini would require you to have a monitor.
