Well, Apple laptops, the current ones that is the MacBook pros, are expensive. You can certainly still get a MacBook Air, and there are rumors that that line might be refreshed this year. I don’t like the keyboard that they’re using these days. I like the one on the air OK. My husband has an old one. But those new keyboards are just not for me. So if your keyboard picky person like I am, you might want to check into that I was a Windows user for many many years. Bottom Mac in 2009, and kept my windows XP machine for things like I’m bossing braille I’m scanning and reading PDF files. I use the Mac, and was hoping that overtime, I would see improvements in certain things like wordprocessing and such. But last year, I bought a Windows machine, because I need to emboss braille and read PDF files including tables with links that are accessible. I don’t know if you have ever used windows, and if you haven’t, that was probably a road you don’t want to walk down, especially if things like PDF files are not a big part of what you need to deal with. I got frustrated with my Mac, because of safari being busy. A lot. I have 16 gigs of RAM in the Mac Mini, so there shouldn’t be any excuse for that kind of nonsense. Are use my phone for most things. I would love something portable. I have an iPad mini 2, which I did try in the past with a Bluetooth keyboard, and suffered from too many freezeups for it to be a reliable system. Taking notes and having your keyboard freezape are not a good combination. That problem could very well have been solved by now. Mary
