Great choice, what I really like about Mac's is that their operating system is now based on Unix, which is rock solid (and my specialty for the last 30 years). Sounds like the perfect laptop for you. I really like my iPad as well, you'll probably like that product also.

Well, I ended up with a MacBook pro.
I looked at the big box stores, as well as the Apple store near by. The box store was typical blah blah blah, a lot of talk saying nothing much to answer my many questions. At the Apple store, totally different program. One on one long talk with a patient person, explaining and showing me things on the display model. One on one instruction and classes at the store to learn to use the Mac. I bought the Mac.
Benn using it a couple days now, and it is a lot more intuitive than the better halts Dell PC. I've never been a techno person, in fact the opposite. A technophobe. I knew just enough to get online and browse gun and knife forums. Now, the Mac is easy to follow prompts and do more than I ever did before, like set up a file folder. One little victory at a time. This is more than enough computer for my use. As I write, I can down load to a flash drive and save. The mac makes me feel like a little kid that has graduated from training wheels.
Now I may check out an I pad.
Carl.
Good choice on hardware, it certainly seems that Apple has the best customer service by a long shot...
I think I just had a good feeling about Apple! And I didn't spontaneously burst into flames!(Just remember that no major corporation will ever truly be interested in anything more than your money.)
