Hi. I am from a pc background and am wanting to make the switch finally. I would appreciate help for deciding which Mac computer to buy. I understand that the new products will be released soon so things might change such as prices, but my current budget is $2000. I would really like to spend less than that but it depends on when I would need to upgrade.
My primary uses would be for school (I'm a junior in high school), writing essays, web browsing, and I would like to get into photo and video editing. I don't travel too much, but portability would be nice but is not required.
Some questions I have are: how much processor speed do I REALLY need? What are the benefits of more cores? Notebook or desktop? Can I upgrade my Mac's components if I need to or do I need to buy a completely new machine?
Sorry for so many questions, any help for any of the questions is very much appreciated.
Thank you!
