Mactracker: For Every Mac
Have you ever wished that you could look at every mac ever created, see the clock speed, standard RAM and even hear the startup chime? Well Mactracker is for you; and even if you don’t really care it certainly is very interesting to look at.
“Mactracker provides detailed information on every Apple Macintosh computer ever made, including items such as processor speed, memory, optical drives, graphic cards, supported Mac OS versions, and expansion options. Also included is information on Apple mice, keyboards, displays, printers, scanners, digital cameras, iPod, Apple TV, iPhone, AirPort Base Stations, Newton, and Mac OS versions.”
Mactracker also has some very smart searching capabilities. You can browse by possessor type, colour and even the price of the Mac, which can be looked at and compared in four countries.
Some of the Macs (mostly newer models) have been benchmarked so you can see the performance; the benchmarks use Geekbench 2 and all are user submitted by users. If you are looking at purchasing a new Mac you can see if that $500 increase in price is worth it. You can also make a note on each model and even add it to the list of “My Mac Models” where you can add more information about yours such as the serial number and when the warranty expires!
Mactracker consolidates all the information you can find on the internet about Macs from both the present and the past; it does this all in a very friendly and consistent user interface. And do you know the best part? Mactracker is absolutely free!

Jonno, this is the nerdiest thing I have ever seen! I think you should take this further by producing your own set of “Top Trumps” with different models of Macs for each card. You could probably sell it to lots of other Mac fan boys.
