I NEED SOME MAC HALP.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190269291017

I am aware I'd have to likely buy a battery (Or at least should work on that assumption), but I know so little about computers... I want this for arting purposes, so like...memory wise, etc will this be a good deal, or a waste of money?

And if this one is a rip off, can someone help guide me? I'm looking for something, a Mac, that's just gonna be used mainly for art, so it'll need to run Photoshop and illustrator pretty easily and smoothly, and save reference picture from the web and scanning stuff, but won't have a lot of other crap on it (That will be for the other laptop) I have no idea about ram, memory all that, it's all greek to me, as it goes.

Also, would a desk top be better? I know they're more expensive though.

And are Mac's really worth double the price of say, an HP? Like...I have heard they are better and I have heard they're not really that much better anymore.

I'm thinking I might look into a payment program. Like...we'll still have the laptop for when I need something to move, and yeah...I can tell they're better. I think if I can find one a generation or two back...like it still won't be cheap but also not like "BWA HA HA are you kidding me."

I am looking into getting a new tablet either way, if I get an "Art computer" and pass that one on to Julia.

I'm sure I could find a copy...somewhere...
