It may not have actually started in a garage, but the Mac still put Apple on the map. With so many iconic designs and influential ad campaigns over the years, the Mac has become one of the world's most versatile computers. And the power of MacOS 13 Ventura -- and soon, MacOS 14 Sonoma -- will keep your creative energy going. Plus, with Apple now making its chips, we've only scratched the surface of just how powerful and power-efficient the Mac lineup can be.
The Laptop Line-up

16-inch MacBook Pro (2023): With the M2 Max chip, it's Apple's most powerful MacBook ever.
The Desktop line-up
Performance, packaged up for your desktop or studio. Apple's offerings range from the all-in-one iMac to the sheer torque of the Mac Studio. Where do you fit in?
24-inch iMac (2021): Completely redesigned for Apple's M1 silicon, this is the all-in-one of your dreams
