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.
