Learning OSX

[Puppetmaster]

So, im a windows user but considering that the shop i work in is doing mac repairs now, it would be pretty handy to learn osx.

We have a fairly new mac mini at work (6-12 months old or something, the one before the latest mac mini) but i dont always have a lot of time to play around with it.

So im considering buying a mac laptop.

Whats the best way of doing this. Should i just take the plunge and pickup a new macbook, go for a refurb or just buy a 2nd hand one running an old version of osx?

I already have this desktop, so dont want another really. I dont need a laptop, but thought its handy to have a portable computer rather than 2 desktops.

everything is too similar to windows to even bother with IMO

and if you ever get stuck you can just google. seems a waste of money if you dont really need one

Well when i try to use the mac at work, i get lost for doing anything other than basic stuff. I'd like to be able to provide support at work for macs, cant just "google everything" would take forever.
