You can always look to buy a used iMac, or if you have a good keyboard, monitor, and mouse a Mac Mini works fine.

I have 2 Minis myself, and just love them.

I’m just waiting for machines to fail and the Mini looks good at this point as an option for the wife’s desk. I’ll be going with a laptop for my purposes. Regardless of what APPLE offers when the need arises they will be my go-to when the time comes. Thanks for the input.

Absolutely worked for me. I bought a used Mac Mini Server from someone upgrading to the latest and greatest, and got it at a great discount, maxed memory and loaded with software (including Win 7). The Mac Mini works with your keyboard, monitor, and mouse; although I prefer my bluetooth trackpad. For me, Samsung monitors and sound bar are a perfect match. I had tried some other non-Apple monitors which were difficult but Samsung monitors work out of the box.
