I am a shameless Mac advocate. My current machine is am EMac that's something like five years old and I have never had a whit of trouble. We have three of the 12 inch Mac laptops in the family...the small ones because the idea of a laptop is portability not size. There's a Bondi Blue IMac nearby that's occasionally put into service...I can't remember how old that one is.

All we do is update the operating system now and then.

There seems to be an impression that Macs are so simple that they can't be really "heavy duty"....puh-leeeese!

You'll enjoy this.

Best
