From a lab point of view you can't beat apple hardware on price.. I tried and other people tried but apple makes the best spec hardware at the best price. I think alienware do something better spec but its the size of a desktop.
You're not going to get a role supporting something you haven't got experience in.. Simple as that.. However sometimes they just want the basic admin covered which you can learn in a lab.. Then once youre in its a case of self learning and growing those skills outside of the office.
Target roles where they need strong skills in what you know and side skills on what you need to grow in.. I'm always honest in interviews about my knowledge, lie and it won't take long to be found out.
I also hold a view that willingness, motivation and team fit applies to contracting.. Some will say companies don't care, they just want an experienced techie to come in but my view is the person counts for a lot.
