There is no reason why you have to purchase a Mac that is brand-new. You can save a bundle of money simply by purchasing a used or refurbished Mac that¡¯s, let¡¯s say only three years old. Such a Mac will probably last another nine or ten years.
For many years now I¡¯ve preferred to buy MacBooks (Pro or Air). They are more than powerful enough for anything that we do, and are so much more flexible that a desktop computer. You can, of course, use a laptop/notebook on a desk if you prefer, and if the screen is a little small, you can use an external monitor instead of the built-in one.
Ours are 2012 models and we are likely to buy newer (not new but nearly so) ones in the next year or so...
