Buy a mac
From the responses, it looks like the OP is going to try a PC desktop upgrade.
What if the OP JBTX wanted to try out a Mac desktop to see if it would fit his/her needs.
I see that you can buy a Mac desktop directly from Apple and return it within "14 calendar days."
I selected the lowest priced iMac desktop with an upgraded keyboard....$1400 delivered. See specs below...
Questions:
Do USB thumb drives work?
How hard is it to backup?
How well does it work with an iPhone/iPad
Can I pop the back off and swap in a new hard drive?
Can I leave financial information securely locally and run a batch file to back it up to a thumb drive every night?
Is there a checkbook app like microsoft money?
How large is the learning curve?
Do Vanguard/Yubico keys work?
Does anyone run Windows 10 on a Mac? How much memory/hard drive does it take?
I guess that someone who tried this could figure this out over 2 weeks before shipping it back? Is there a way to extend the 2 weeks?
