[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1429714, member: 38864"] Also worth considering is that, sooner or later, your hardware will breathe its last breathe. When that happens, if you are still tied to Snow Leopard and your existing apps, buying a new Mac will require updating all your software also. Running Sow Leopard simply won't be an option. Of course you could just buy a used older Mac that can run Snow Leopard, and that would be a perfect valid choice. I agree with MrPlow that you don't seem to have any pressing need to move on now. I would just assess what your preferences would be in the future when you have no choice but to replace your Mac, and that day will come sooner or later. If you don't expect to want to "settle" for used hardware, then starting now by gradually upgrading your software to newer versions that will run in Snow Leopard through Mountain Lion might be a better way to ease into it and spread the costs out.
