Choose with a clearer picture

Start with what you want to do, then compare the devices and configurations that fit. These practical guides bring the useful questions together before you browse the range.

Choose your Mac

Compare the complete purchase

Look beyond the device name. Review the configuration, what is included, compatible accessories, confirmed availability, delivery and final price together. A supplier image can show an accessory sold separately or a different colour, so check the selected listing before purchase.

Prepare for setup

Before replacing a device, plan your backup and check access to important accounts and software. Keep a note of any apps, subscriptions or organisation requirements that need to work with the new device. The setup checklist links to official support information.
