Thinking of Getting a Mac

Right Guys

I am still in Secondary Education and going to go into IT as a career. I have used Windows and variations of Linux. I am looking at getting a Mac just to use for general use such as internet, email and playing about with the Mac UI, uses, functions etc.

What Mac would you recommend and the price? I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks in Advance

Budget?

Not got any particular budget, i am open to high and low end Macs. Sub £700?

That leaves you with, MacBook, Mac Mini, or with a little extra saving, iMac. Depends what form factor you want tbh.

Have a look at a MacBook, will suit your needs and budget well.

If you feel limited by the 13" screen, then get a top spec Mac Mini and get a nice 24" Dell monitor or something.

Quit it!

Still got 13 days till I can get mine, might even make the 54.5 mile trek up to OcUK HQ for it.
