Hi all, my MAcbook is 6 years old, and slow and the disk is full (of what I do not know?). It is time to get a new computer. I wanted to get the new imac, but at 1400$ it is just too expensive for me. I am almost computer illiterate, and have an iphone, and my whole cd library (9000 songs) on itune, so I thought i would stay with mac, but the price tag is just too dear right now. So I was thinking of either getting a laptop or a desktop (which I gather you get more of a bang for your buck) and totally reboot my old macbook to use when I travel. I really only use the computer for internet, for pictures (about 12000 pics and 500 videos) and to store my music (9000 songs). I just want something totally hastle free that will last for a while. Is that so much to ask for. What is your advice in regards to desktop vs laptop, and should I get an external hard drive to boot. Looking to spend considerably less than 1200$. Thanks for the advice
