[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1950512, member: 131855"] I used a MacBook Pro as my primary computer for about 7 years and really liked it. I only stopped when I got the iMac. If you choose that route here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. If it's Bluetooth your iMac keyboard and mouse should work with the new Mac. Even wired keyboards should work although an adapter may be needed. 2. For ergonomic reasons I found it more comfortable to use an external keyboard and mouse when at my desk. 3. I picked up a monitor to use as a second screen. The extra screen real estate was nice. I usually had one app open on the computer screen (e.g email) and my main app being used on the larger external monitor. Macs handle this well. 4. Depending upon the number of peripherals that you need to attach a good hub may be needed. The good news is that a Mac laptop can be used as a functional desk machine without absolutely adding these extras. You can take your time and decide which accessories best suit your workflow/situation. [/QUOTE]
