Looking to convert to a mac.
But I'm looking to do this as economically as possible to get my feet wet.
What I would like to be able to do with my first mac:
Edit Photos ( I would be interested in something like Aperture)
Work (Word editing programs, spreadsheets, email client)
Internet
I want to purchase a macbook or macbook pro for portability first if possible. Then later on purchase a desktop like an imac. If I were to purchase an imac now, I would have to be able to run windows on the machine also, I would prefer not to dual boot and just run it in the apple OS because it would only be for minor work programs, nothing real demanding on the pc. Really only 2 programs and both require very minimal system requirements.
I do like things to work quickly though, but am unsure of what specs that would mean with a mac, in windows I know basically load it up with ram and cpu power.
Any suggestions on a good way to get started? If more information is needed please ask, I'm willing to discuss as much as needed to get me going on the right track.
