[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1043835, member: 140470"] Wow you guys are really rounding up the price estimates aren't you unless you want a Mac Pro. For your needs you don't really need the fastest Mac. A Mac Mini will fit your needs. Get the faster Mac Mini and it should last you for awhile. You will need a mouse, keyboard, and monitor though for a Mac Mini. You don't need to get an Apple external monitor so you will save money if you went with a different brand. Just make sure it has the right connections for the Mac Mini. This should leave you with more than enough money to get the other things you want. As for the learning curve, Macs aren't that hard to use. Most of it is pretty similar to Windows since Windows likes to copy Mac but does a poor job of it. ;) There [I]are[/I] differences and you can always ask for help on this forum and there are also many video tutorials on the internet that will teach you how to use Macs. If you are pretty comfortable with using computers then it shouldn't be hard learning the differences. [/QUOTE]
