recommendations for mac noob...

[Grimley]

After 15 years of PC's I'm looking to dip my toe in the world of macs.

Do you think I should buy new or get a 2nd hand one (in case I don't like them)

Opinions please.

Go into an Apple store and have a play first if you can, perhaps talk to one of the staff.

I've done that, but it I'd like to use OSX on a day to day basis without having a salesperson looking over your shoulder, I'd like to form my own opinion too without getting an opinion from someone who's paid to sell apple computers.

I was thinking along the lies of a mac mini actually. I have no need for a laptop as I have a netbook for portable use.
