Call for help: What’s a good “starter” Mac?
I’m can feel myself start to buckle under all the peer pressure. I’m strongly considering buying my first Mac.
For all you fanboys, self-proclaimed and closet alike, what do you recommend? While I probably could blow $2k+ on a MacBook Pro, I don’t want to. I’d like to do something nice, but on the cheaper side. I’m considering the $1300 MacBook that has the DVD burner. On the plus side, my wife is a teacher so it seems that would get me $100 off.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I go Craigslist/Ebay? Is that even a safe/good plan?
I definitely want an Intel-based laptop with whatever the latest and greatest cat is. That aside, I expect nothing much from it.
I should note I’m not entirely committed to this yet, so if waiting a few months is a good plan, I’m all ears for that too.
Any constructive thoughts, anyone?
