I am so glad that I have not upgraded (downgraded?) to Maverics, I own a Macbook pro, 2009 and am very happy with it. I run MS Office as well as pages, keynote and the Excel look alike. I have been able to get them all to work together.

It sounds to me like a computer from a place like Tiger Dircect would be just what you need. I just bought my son a computer for 800.00 bucks, windows 7 NOT windows 8, 17" with a kickin video card lots of storage and 8Gig of ram, and a Core I7 chip. Can't beat it. I'd skip the mac for now unless they are going to fix their op system problems. I don't think they are going to quit the market for computers, but most of their desk tops and good puters are being used by graphics folks, movie makers and others who need lots of computing power, good graphics detail and the ability to put in 16 GIG of RAM.

What ever you buy, it is worth it to get the square trade full warranty just in case. It's as good as Apple's warranty. I've had just about every removable part changed on my Mac with no questions asked.

Hope that helps.
