Apple has helped crush the stereotype of the pale, introverted nerd hiding in his basement building a robot girlfriend. Oh sure, there are a few guys and gals out there who would love nothing more than a mechanical mate to take to the prom or 20-year high school reunion. The rest of us prefer our nerds with an actual pulse.
For these folks we present the 19 hottest Mac chicks. These ladies are blessed with both beauty and brains -- after all, they chose Macs.
Don't worry, ladies, check back tomorrow for the hottest Mac dudes. We're an equal-opportunity site, so we'll have some eye candy for everyone.

Gisele Bundchen
When
she isn’t tending to Tom Brady’s surgically repaired knee, our favorite
Amazonian goddess is better known as a leggy home video made on a Mac.
Also, we hear Gisele isn’t shy about breaking out her MacBook backstage
at Victoria’s Secret fashion shows.
Veronica Belmont
Co-host of Revision3 and Qore,
tech journalist and CES mainstay Veronica Belmont is even sexy on
paper, with podcasts Mahalo Daily and BOL and a guest spot in “Vampire
Secrets” under her belt. Add an affinity for Macs and bacon, and she just might be the geek of our dreams.

iJustine
We
all think the lowercase “i” thing is a little played out, but Justine
Ezarik wears it (and just about everything else) well. She loves her
Mac, adores her iPhone, hates her 300-page AT&T bill, and may or
may not have an Apple tattoo. Need we say more?

Kari Byron
As
if toppling a tree with a Gatling gun and posing for a butt scan
weren’t cool enough, our favorite redheaded MythBuster isn’t afraid to
show a little skin,
either. A devout Mac user, Kari and her trusty PowerBook can lay to
rest any myth save one: Would she be as hot with a ThinkPad?
Avril Lavigne
While
not exactly known for embracing her inner geek, punk-pop starlet Avril
likes to blog it up on her PowerBook (and probably uses it to design
clothes for her Abbey Dawn line at Kohl’s). The real reason Avril
doesn’t like your girlfriend? Because she uses a Dell, dude.

Tori Amos
An
Apple fan for life, Tori has been using Macs to beef up her Bosendorfer
since before the PowerPC. She even gave Macs a classic shout-out in the
liner notes to “Under the Pink”: "It’s Bitchin’ what these things can
do."

Michelle Obama
Future
first lady Michelle Obama’s sense of style doesn’t stop with fashion.
While on the campaign trail, President-Elect Barack Obama’s “rock”
purchased MacBooks for her him and their daughters so they could all
stay connected through iChat. Now that’s change we can believe in.

Ellen Feiss
The
first stoned Mac devotee to appear on national TV (or was she really on
Benadryl?), Ellen became an Internet sensation at just 14 when she
filmed her famous beep-beep-beep switcher spot. We’re not exactly sure
what she’s up to now, but she’s all grown up and probably up to no good.

Kirsten Dunst
A
rumored relationship and subsequent break-up with I’m-a-Mac Justin Long
must’ve done Kirsten some good, because she was recently seen carrying
a MacBook Pro in an oh-so-stylish-but-not-very-protective designer
slipcase that we would never use. Of course, we don’t have Spider-Man
watching our back.

Lisa Loeb
As
if we couldn’t tell be looking at her cat-eye glasses, Lisa Loeb is a
head-over-heels, lifetime Mac user who can even recall the first time
she laid eyes on an Apple II in grade school. She takes her MacBook
everywhere and is an iPhone holdout due to its lack of Flash. Now
that’s hot.

Courtney Love
The
former Hole frontwoman’s hotness varies greatly from week to week, but
her MySpace page links to a photo gallery entitled “whatever spares are
on my Mac.” Plus, she was married to Kurt Cobain. That’s good enough
for us.

Drew Barrymore
A
confirmed ex-girlfriend of Justin Long (who once made her so happy “my
cheeks hurt”) earns Gertie a spot on our list. It’s one thing to love
your Mac, but how many can say their Mac loved them back (even if only
for a few months)?

Mariah Carey
Mariah’s
been photographed lounging with a PowerBook before, but it wasn’t until
her Bluetooth woes in Adam Sandler’s “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”
when we realized just how much of a fangirl she was. When asked what
platform she uses, her entourage answers in unison: Duh!

Tina Fey
Affectionately
called a “geek superhero” by former SNL castmate Jimmy Fallon, funny
girl Tina Fey proudly uses a MacBook when not playing Dell-user Sarah
Palin. And by the looks of things, she’s got her 3-year-old daughter on
a pretty good training program.

Sheryl Crow
One
of the first true believers in the iTunes Music Store, Sheryl Crow was
once rumored to be at the top of Steve Jobs’ celebrity list. She’s
appeared in so many keynotes, we’re even willing to overlook those Dell commercials--because we’re sure she used a Mac off-screen.

Mandy Amano
There
isn’t much about Mandy Amano that isn’t hot. Making her U.S.
breakthrough in the second Pepsi/iTunes ad, this Japanese-Irish actress
stole out hearts when when she told Macenstein, “Once you go Mac, you never go back!” We’re sure the same is true about Mandy.

Björk
A
card-carrying member of Club Think Different since she first burst onto
the scene, Björk wouldn’t be Björk without an army of Cinema Displays
and MacBooks in her live rig. And back at the studio, she keeps her
beats in order with Logic, of course.

Ellen Page
Already
endeared to Macheads everywhere after her
I’m-a-geek-but-it’s-still-cool role as Juno, Ellen Page added to her
cachet when she was spotted putting her black MacBook into a security bin at LAX. It’s totally the cheese to her macaroni, since she so couldn’t part with it for the flight.

Amanda Hamilton
A
nutritionist and co-host of BBC2’s “Something for the Weekend,” Amanda
Hamilton represents the other side of the pond with her brand new
MacBook. A recent Mac convert, her favorite part of OS X is not waiting
for the “PC shutdown noise” when she powers down. Wait till she learns
that Macs don’t need to shut down.
