I need a new computer. I'm using an old desktop from the very early 21st century. It's on XP so I'll need to learn a new OS regardless of whether I get a PC or Apple.
Thing is though I have about 15 minutes of apple computer experience. And looking at pricing at apple.com I nearly fell out of my chair.
Regardless I'm still very much interested in an Apple desktop or notebook.
The main things I do is web browsing YouTube and such. I also use it for transferring files to android devices (emulator roms and such) but that's strictly moving files no actual interaction. So it needs to recognize USB devices and have a file manager of sorts. I also email and such but need it to connect to a wireless printer/scanner. Adobe took care of getting scans no problem on my PC. Pretty basic stuff mostly.
Do you guys think an Apple computer is right for me? If so and I wanted new is the apple store my only choice or are there less expensive places?
Thanks for any help, sorry if this isn't the right section.
