Exactly.
Although I never would recommend an Apple product to anyone (I found it
even more evil than Microsoft), I recognize that Apple is your brand
should you don't want to care what a computer or a phone or a tablet is.
But prepare your budget to accomodate the needs of $700-share company ;-)

Sure, I find it's the perfect choice for home users.

I also think so, although I haven't tested the "normal" (default)
installer, I always choose the expert mode and I would also recommend
another users to use it. It can be intimidating at a first glance but
with the docs at your hands, you realize it follows a logical routine
(step 1 → step 2 → step 3 → step 4 → ... → main menu → step 4 → step
5...) and quite understandable.
People is intimidated not because of the lack of GUIs but when they don't
understand the inners of a process, that's why documentation is so
important in the first steps.
