I appreciate what you're saying, I'm a novice getting to grips with this, not always got answers to some of the basics one needs to get going, so a pointer to a book or better, an online text to get head round these would help all us newbies no end.
I pass on what I learn as I learn it since I empathise with other newbies on this quest.

I'd go for a Macbook Air. With 4GB of ram, and 128GB of storage, you'd only spend $899. I'd suggest upgrading the storage, though. The only differences between the 11-inch and 13-inch are the price, an SD card slot in the 13-inch, and smaller function keys on the top row, and arrow keys, on the 11-inch. As to questions, Apple Accessibility is good, but I found it easier to email this list when I was learning. Both are great resources, though, and nothing stops you from using them both. Don't forget about www.applevis.com as well, where you'll find forums, guides, podcasts, and so on. There's even a link on the homepage for those new to the Mac.
