[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1209103, member: 46727"] First, Welcome to the Mac Forums. No cons. A refurbished machine from the Apple store will likely be in new condition and is fully warranted. You can even purchase Apple care for it. My personal opinion... yes, wait until you see what the new iMacs will have before buying. We may see a refresh around the April - May timeframe. No guaranty of that though, only Apple knows for sure. Maybe a slight learning curve, possibly none for someone of your experience. I'll let someone more familiar with the TC answer this. I don't use one. Kodak printers make great door stops. :) Enough said about that... As for setting up a printer for wireless with your Mac, it's no more difficult than Windows 7. (which is fairly easy) Just make sure you have a printer that's Mac friendly - drivers included for the latest iteration of OS X. See above my opinion of Kodak. ;P HP, Canon, and Brother are all Mac friendly and generally have drivers available for their latest printers and even some of the older models. Always a good idea to have external storage for large files such as videos and music. Also a must for backups. OS X includes a great backup program called Time Machine. You can read up on it - do a Google. We'll look forward to seeing you on here regularly when you buy your new Mac. Any other questions or concerns, just ask away. [/QUOTE]
