Go back one generation, get a refurbished one from Apple, pile on the
memory.
Get a "real" bluetooth keyboard and trackpad, unless you like keys that
don't move very much.
I'd second the motion on investigating a mac mini with a big honking
monitor. You can hang out on the recliner with the wireless keyboard.

your advice.
I need an Apple product (please, to be compatible with everything else I own)
to use during a post-surgical recovery (it's my foot, but it's gonna be a
stupid long time). I absolutely need a real keyboard (hence a laptop, not a
tablet) and I'd like it to be able to play movies (so it needs a DVD player).
Naturally I want to be able to read email and rant at Doug on Facebook, but
that goes without saying. What's your advice?
