Hi
We have MAC, and love them, they are really easy to use. Although, I have a friend who bought one, and because he has been using PC for so long and all his other computers in his home are PC he doesn't like them so much. I have found that a MAC, is less hassle, unless you need to transfer your files over, its plug in and go! I am not that computer literate so for me it is great everything is so easy.
I would suggest that if you do want to see a MAC, go to a Mac store, or someone who specializes in MAC, because I have found that at the Big Box stores, the people do not have the knowledge of them and in many cases they are more money.
I know of people who have had MAC's for years and years and still have them
Either way it is your choice buy whatever you feel comfortable with shop around and purchase from whom ever, gives you the best info and is the most helpful, and not just trying to make a sale!
