Buying a new computer is an important decision, and Experimac Middleton is here to help. Whenever you’re ready to start the process of buying a new computer, here are the most important questions to ask yourself:

• Is portability important? This question is a great one to start with because it can determine whether you’re looking at a desktop (like an iMac®, Mac Pro®, or Mac Mini®) or a laptop (like a MacBook®, MacBook Pro®, or MacBook Air®). People who need to travel with their computer will obviously prefer the convenience of a laptop, whereas people who will be using it mostly from home or work might be better off investing in a desktop model. 
• What size screen do I need? This question is somewhat related to the first question, but still very important. If a larger screen size is important, but you still want a laptop, then you would probably be best going with a 15’’ MacBook Pro or a 13’’ MacBook Air. For desktop users who desire a larger screen, the 27’’ iMac might be your best bet, although, with the Mac Mini and Mac Pro, you can connect your computer to any size monitor you’d like!
• What kind of performance will I need from my computer?  This might be the most important question. Macs are dependable, reliable, and powerful machines, so they can support a wide range of users from the casual user to the high-demand user. But a graphic designer needs a powerful computer to do their work, and a casual user does not need as much from their computer as a graphic designer or an audio engineer. Make sure that the computer you choose has the right amount of Memory and Storage as well as the right type and speed of processor for your needs. Just keep in mind that some of these components are non-upgradeable, so make sure you’re getting everything you need at the time of purchase!
• What is my Budget? Lastly, as is important when making any major purchase, it is important to plan out a budget ahead of time. Mac computers are a worthy investment, and one that you will be making use of for years. Shopping at Experimac and buying a Certified, Pre-Owned Apple® Product is a great way to find a computer without having to pay full price. Most computers at Experimac are up to 50% or even 60% of what you would pay at Apple, and all of our devices come with a warrantyof up to 1 year!
