http://everymac.com/systems/by_capability/minimum-macos-supported.html I would think that any Core i5/7 model will provide enough power for the future. 1) Look for Core i5/i7 iMacs Mid-2010 (there are also Core 2 Duo systems!) if you want an All-in-One Desktop that comes with Mac OS X 10.6.3. 2) All MacBook Pro Mid-2010 are Core i5/i7 and come with Mac OS X 10.6.3. 3) Any Mid-2011 iMac will provide what you want: it comes with Mac OS X 10.6.6 and is Core i5/i7 from the start. 4) So does every Early-2011 MacBook Pro. There is actually no Mac Mini with Core i4/i5/i7 that goes with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard… that's quite disappointing! Anyway, I think the links is what you were looking for. Everymac.com also provides estimated current resale prices for older models, which will give you a hint on how much it's worth (I always had the impression that you get used Macs for lower prices than Everymac.com listed). Good luck!
