| Although I can say little over the software questions, the price you get for your mac seems to be very nice.
You can try to look on the australian APPLE STORE site to find out how much the charge for their macs and/or find a APPLE shop at the new address and ask them (email or browsing their website) what it would cost to buy another mac.
Be aware that some software might run into trouble when it is not designed for INTEL mac's.
What kind of shipping do you use. How long does the shipping take. Also take into account that the MAC might become defective during shipping.
$3000 looks to me like a nice amount of money to buy yourself a very nice new complete mac.
Good luck, Kees |
