It is not actually a new computer but I just uploaded the Catalina OS two days ago.
I had an interesting thought the other day - I wondered if there was a way to partition my computer and run iOS (the phone/tablet operating system), similarly to how I used to run Win via VM Fusion as a second operating system on my Mac. I searched online briefly and found that running iOS apps is one of the features included with Catalina. I knew there was a new OS but I tend to not be an early adaptor of upgrades because it seems like that makes you most vulnerable to compatability issues and things that need fixing. But given this feature, and that Catalina is not new new - I upgraded Thursday night and so far have not experienced any negative or concerning issues. The other nifty device is a new (new for me, because it is refurbished - I try to buy refurbished from Mac whenever I can) iPad Mini 5 complete with pencil (and a tempered glass cover and clear case). I went from an older 64 GB in "space gray, " with WiFi only (and a couple of cracks and dents), to a almost new 256 GB in "gold" with celluar and WiFi. I run a smart trainer (indoor cycling) program that takes up a lot of space, so I am finally going to be able to try out some new research apps without having to delete all of my ride files!
