I would also need the Windows component because of what I need to provide to those at the church.

I found the laptops that I have used in the past to be frustrating and slow. That's why I am thinking about the MacBook Pro.

I would also need the windows side because of testing that I would be doing if I chose not to sit at the PC.

Thanks for asking.

Then the Mac would work well and you can use my company's product, Fusion, to run Windows in a virtual machine so you can do testing while working on the newsletter. A refurb might work well so that you can max the memory so you can do both at the same time. My current MacBook Pro is a company issued one but I'd definitely get my own that is the same or better model.
