Here's hoping the font of all wisdom that is NSC can be of assistance.
Having never personally owned an Apple device of any description, and having no intention of ever doing so, we now need to buy one for our eldest. She needs to work with some programs that only Apple do, so her PC will need replacing. I'm totally confused by all their products, 'i' this and 'mac' that and all I know is that they appear to me to be vastly over priced and low on spec for what you have to pay. Unfortunately, because of the programs required our hands are tied.
The music composition programs she needs to run are : Logic, Pro Tools, Soundtrack Pro. Anyone any recommendations or suggestions for the following please?
1) What is the best value tower/monitor, not laptop, model to go for in terms of good usability for the above programs?
2) Where's best to buy from in terms of deals and warranty etc?
3) Is it worth considering refurbs?, if so where best to buy one from?
