Product Wars: Apple civil war

Nothing says chic like Apple.

While the electronics company struggled to edge out its main competitor, Microsoft, for the better part of the '90s, Apple has since gained prominence by leveraging on an 'ultra cool' image. Even its ad campaigns (such as the "Hi, I'm a Mac" TV ads) relegate Microsoft to nothing more than a geeky (and often inept) brand epitomised by a boring guy in a suit.

So Apple's coolness is unrivalled in the marketplace, but how about do the company's products stack up against each other?

Let's compare Apples with Apples.

In this week's ARN Product Wars, we have assembled a bunch of Apple products and pitted them against each other. We want to which is the coolest Apple creation.

The candidates are: iMac, iPhone, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod, iPod Mini, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook and Xserve
