[QUOTE="callmedory, post: 1043786, member: 387796"] My Husband and I are thinking about switching to Mac later this year. We have two Dell laptops and they've been pretty good, but "Hubby" is liking Mac more and more. Hubby was advised to "just get a faster computer," but he says why bother getting something that's faster but still not as good as it could be? I don't have a problem with switching over, except for the learning curve. I'm likely the one to be using it more, anyway. We don't play games or do videos or anything. It's pretty much word processing and online (research, browsing, shopping, tooling around killing time, etc). At the Apple Store, we saw that photos and videos and music weren't that hard to at least begin to mess with, so we might branch out a bit as we get used to it. Hubby wants a larger monitor, he says his eyes are getting old. He also is looking at replacing one of the Dell laptops. And he likes the idea of the iPad, more to mess around with than anything else. He knows this is gonna cost around, what $4000-$5000? More if he gets an iPod or iPhone. We're planning ahead to be able to get what we want/need. So what I need is advice. What do we really "need" for the use we're expecting? And as we're people who don't play games on computer or online, what else can we do with a Mac? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
