Quality

There is no substitute for high quality. Much of the IBM/Intel/Mcrosoft compatible stuff is crap. Majoring in music led me into audio and acoustics. Audio and acoustics led me into personal computers. Computers is where I made my retirement money. The last "brand name" computer I bought was a Micron in about 1994. I still have it and still use it. All my other computers (except for my laptop) are "home-made". All hard drives are Western Digital, and none of them have ever failed. So, that's the first thing: Quality.

Secondly, if you're used to Apple and its OS, I would encourage you to continue with it. Yes, the price is high, mostly because Apple doesn't license their architecture to other companies to build clones. But so what? It's not like you're going to buy a new computer every year. So what if you save $900 by buying an IBM clone? $900 is a drop in the bucket of life expenses. Two years from now, that $900 won't mean a hill of beans in your financial picture.

Buy what you want (and it's an Apple) and don't fret about it.

Get 8 GB of memory, a two terabyte drive, and be happy.
