It's obviously been a long time, so what do I look for? My needs are not especially taxing or unusual, I think, but I'd like to have a sense of where I could be a bit on the entry-level side and where I should focus on getting as much as I can. For example, I suspect that top-of-the-line processor speed would be less important than maxing the memory, and I don't think I need the more than the basic screen size. One of the things I could definitely use input on is the type of HD to get--they're showing something called a Fusion drive, and the little I've read about it makes it sound like a good thing, but...well, you get the idea. Let's set a ballpark price limit of $1,250 or so. My thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!
