Oh Scott.

I do need a portable device because I'm going on a 14 day hotel trip later this 
year to train with my new dog, and I simply could not stand being stuck in a 
hotel room with nothing.  Also, I'm hoping to have a holiday later this year if 
I can get the dog out of the way firstly, so again, I need something to keep me 
in contact with civilasation .  In addition, I think it would be quite nice to 
go to my local pub and sit there doing my email and other things, so hiring a 
mac book is no good.

You recommend a Macbook Air.  Does that have a tactyle keyboard or is there 
perhaps something better to consider?

Very best wishes.
Andy.

  Hi Andy,


  Depends on what you want to do.  A Macbook Air would be a fine option 
especially for a secondary machine.  Probably low enough on the cost especially 
on the second hand market.


  A pro will give you more horse power but if you already have that IMac I 
think you’re probably in good shape.


  Here’s a whacky idea, what about renting a Macbook Pro for a few days for the 
training and then going back to your iMac when you’re done.  Less expensive and 
you don’t end up with hardware you don’t sound like you need.

    Hi all.

    I have just purchased an imac desk-top computer but in order for me to 
undergo one-to-one training in my area, I need to buy a second hand portable 
device.

    Once I have a recomendation, a friend can have a look on Ebay.

    I'd like a mac lap-top and if possible, running El Capitan.

    My sense of touch is very poor so I need a mac book with a pretty good 
keyboard on it.  I could attach the Apple USB keyboard if necessary, but that's 
another bit of equipment to carry.

    So should I buy a second hand Mac book pro:  a Mac book or something 
similar?

    Your advise would be very welcome as I'm just dying to take up this 
training opertunity.

    Very best wishes.
    Andy.
