7. I will be a bit of contrarian here and say don't get a new Mac

Don't get me wrong. They are very good computers, but they are also very expensive. Several in my family love them, and I used to too, until I price compared.

The other thing I don't like about Macs and Apple in general is that they operate in a closed universe. Everything is specific to them, which makes cables etc more expensive. I guess you can get third-party stuff for them, but nowhere near to the extent you can get for the PCs.

As others have pointed out, getting a port replicator is the way to go for either PCs or Macs.

However, if you are used to the Macs, it may simply be easier to get another one. Costco and BestBuy seem to have the best prices, and just wait for sales to get a good deal.

Best of luck.
