So I'm an Apple newb, and prefer to stay that way. I have always
found that I get the most bang for my computer buck if I buy last
years latest and greatest, when the purist need the absolute latest
model. She doesn't use the camera, so that's a feature that I'm not
concerned about. What model has the fastest processing speed, and
will give me the most bang for my buck? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
