Cheap Apple products are rare but not impossible to find. A few retailers offer significant discounts around the year. Our pricetable is updated nearly everyday with the lowest and cheapest prices on Apple's main product lines.
Laptops
If you're trying to decide which model of laptop to get, first decide what you want the laptop for. Apple's entry level 11-inch Macbook Air provides plenty of power for casual computer users, but lacks an optical drive. If that fits your needs (for most people it will), then you're done. If you want something a little larger or faster you will want to look at the MacBook Pro line which offers 13-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch screen sizes. If you want a thin and lightweight laptop, and don't mind the lack of a built-in CD/DVD drive, take a look at the MacBook Air.
MacBook Pro
The standard by which all other laptops are judged. Apple's MacBook Pro line isn't cheap, but is considered by many to be the best laptops you can buy. All three sizes come in at 0.95-inches thick and are made from one piece of machined aluminum. There's minimal flex in the body and the keyboards are backlit.
The 13-inch Macbook Pro is the the everyman machine. It's fast, lots of storage, has an optical drive, and durable. 1280x800 resolution will suffice.
At 15-inches we get 1440x900 resolution and quad core Intel i7 Processors in the default config. These are fast machines, particularly useful for video editing.
Last but not least is the largest of Apple's laptop offerings, the 17-inch MacBook Pro. It's not the cheapest, but makes up for it with a 1920x1200 resolution, up to 2.5GHz quad core i7, and up to 7 hours of battery life.
MacBook Air
When thin, light, and mobile are your most important features it's hard to beat Apple's MacBook Air. Again, this one isn't cheap but it delivers with 0.16 to 0.76-inch thickness front to back, weighs only 3 pounds, and still provides a 13.3-inch 1280x800 display.
You won't get an internal CD/DVD drive but can plug an external one in. It's not the fastest, it's not the cheapest, but it is thin, light, and portable.
iPad
If you don't really need a full blown laptop you may want to consider Apple's iPad. It's smaller, cheaper, and provides all the basic computing functions such as browsing the web, email, photos, and more. You can add on an optional keyboard dock if you find yourself wanting a physical keyboard or use the iPad's on-screen keypad. This is the perfect Facebook, YouTube, and instant messaging machine.
Desktops
iMac
If you don't need a laptop and really appreciate a large screen, Apple's iMac is a stunning and beautiful computer. Essentially an HDTV with a computer built inside, it's available in 21.5-inch and 27-inch sizes and is powerful enough for most computer professionals.
Mac Pro
For when nothing but the most powerful computer will do. Apple's Mac Pro is designed for serious computing. Cheap isn't anywhere to be found, but fast and big certainly is.
Mac mini
Want a Mac but don't want to spend more than necessary? Already have a monitor and keyboard you're happy with? Apple's Mac mini is designed to replace your desktop computer without the need for buying a new monitor, keyboard, or mouse. It's the cheapest desktop computer Apple sells and the smallest.
Mobile
iPhone
If you're looking for a smartphone, or superphone, the iPhone is the standard by which all other phones are judged. It wins with its technology, form factor, and incredibly large app store. It's a computer in your pocket. The problem? It's not cheap. Service will run you $90+/month with an initial $199+ up front cost. Is it worth it? That's up to you.
iPod Touch
If the thought of paying so much each month for an iPhone isn't appealing but you'd still like a computer in your pocket, the iPod touch is the cheaper alternative. Get access to hundreds of thousands of applications via the app store, browse the web, email, play games, have fun.
iPod Nano
It's small, takes pictures, plays videos, and holds 8GB or 16GB of music and video. It's cheaper than the iPod touch but doesn't have access to the app store.
iPod Shuffle
When small is your priority the iPod shuffle wins. It's smaller than most headphones and easily clips onto your clothing. It really feels more like a part of your headphones and not a separate device. 2GB of music, no display. Usually available for under $50.
