Buying a New Computer - Need Advice!

First post from the Mac Mini.

 

ETA: Also, I like to view windows in full screen. Is there an easy way to expand screens (iTunes, Safari, Mail, etc.) to be full screen? Do I have expand them each time by dragging out the lower right hand corner?

 

Hold down alt/option when you click the green maxamize button to do this. But, the default way osx maxamizes windows is to expand to the size needed to show the entire width of the thing you're looking at. You may want to play around with this and see if you like it better, If you have a large monitor you may not want textpad to take up the whole screen for 2 lines.

Well I am up and running. I had to exchange the original Mac Mini due to Bluetooth connectivity issues. But now I've got everything set up and it seems to be functioning properly. Thanks to all who provided advice, recommendations and tips.

Either try clicking the "+" circle on the upper left hand side of the window or you can expand them manually.
