It is really not all that difficult to connect them to a PC (No idea on a Mac though, I have never looked if EQMOD is cross platform)
All you really need is an EQDirect cable, install the ASCOM platform (Which requires .net 3.5 which is dead easy to install on Win 10 and not very hard on W7) and then to install EQMOD. It is generally fairly smooth sailing.
One point to note if you are likely to dive in to astrophotography, a lot of people start out with an EQ5 size mount and fairly quickly end up upgrading to an EQ6, and if you get an EQ6 you really want one with a belt drive (EQ6-R) as the belt reduction drive between the stepper motors and worm gear can be a lot easier to deal with if you are guiding than the reduction gearbox in the lower cost versions.
