It was your hard "must be a Mac solution" requirement that tipped me,
Pamela. The good news is that limits your options. The bad news is ...
Never mind.

Seriously, if you need a Mac, get a Mac. Putting yourself at the mercy of
the Mac minions is part of the (very large) premium you pay for the
privilege. Get a big one; get a small one, but get a Mac. There are no
alternatives to their very expensive hardware/software clubhouse. They've
built a walled garden.

Fwiw, I'm similarly unsympathetic to those who voluntarily place themselves
at the tender mercies of the M$ oligarchy, also. But it's a tough love.

Sympathetically yours,
