[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1612989, member: 56379"] First we are talking about MacBook Pro's…not MacBook's. Apple used to sell MacBook's…now Apple just sells MacBook Pro's.:) As far as what Apple laptop/notebook for you…ANY one will work for you with your needs.:) On the low end...Apple is still selling the 13" MacBook Pro 2.5ghz. This is actually a 2012 model…and it is the only model that still has a CD/DVD drive, user upgradeable ram, and user upgradeable storage (hard drive). All other MacBook Pro's (newer 2013/2014 models) do not have a CD/DVD drive, do not have user upgradable ram, and technically not user upgradeable storage. Basically you need to configure these with as much ram & storage you need in the future...at the time of purchase. Most folks are saying you should get at least 8gig of ram…and as much storage that your budget will allow. The flash storage is expensive…so you can't get as much as you could with a traditional "spinning" hard drive. I would say get at least 256gig of storage. Also check the Apple refurbished section for some older models…and save a little bit of $$$. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
