[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1647666"] wings515: welcome! The fundamental question that needs to be answered is simple: desktop or notebook? If desktop, I'd suggest the 27-inch iMac (doesn't have to be the 5K). If notebook, I'd suggest the MacBook Air 13-inch based on your stated needs, particularly if you are buying a new one. The just-updated MBA 13-inch is a heck of a good value compared to the 11-inch. Likewise, the 27-inch iMac may seem big but its more expandable (RAM) than the 21-inch, plus you know BIG MONITOR. Buying refurbished is an excellent idea. They are like new, and come with both a warranty and the opportunity to buy AppleCare for an additional two years of coverage. Finally, if you need to burn CDs/DVDs, you don't have to get the Apple SuperDrive, nice as it is. You can use nearly any external burner under the sun these days. [/QUOTE]
