A few years ago, we replaced the wife's cheap laptop with a macbook air. I spent 2 or 3 weeks learning it so I could show her around. She said that she wouldn't go to the free class, but eventually said she wished she had. Anyway, after my time with it, I was hooked. My current workstation works too well to replace, but when I do, it'll be with an iMac. If it was today, it would be a 27" iMac 5k. It's going to be expensive, which is why I haven't done it.

Use whatever keyboard and mouse you want. Have you tried the touchpad instead of the mouse? The touchpad on the wife's laptop is the best I've ever seen/used. When I do buy one, I'll be using my own keyboard. It may not be as slick looking, but it's much more ergonomic.

Congrats and good luck.
