You won't be sorry, Tom. 🙂 It's a great machine. I have the first one, an M1, which has hardly been used since I bought it for my wife! If you need any help, pop over to 'alt.computer.workshop' - you'll always find me there. Are you already familiar with the Apple Support Communities forums? Loads of help and advice from other users of Apple products there! https://discussions.apple.com/learn -- Kind regards, David
