Wow, Thanks everyone for their input!!! You all have really given me a lot to think about. I was just thinking to myself that I was going to stay with PC and actually hubby and I were talking about that tonight and he said that he thought it would be a good idea since he's been my "go to" guy for help. lol
He has zero knowledge of Mac and just about as much with Windows 8 but somehow he thinks that it would be easier to figure out if I should need him to "fix" what I've done. lol
In all seriousness, after playing with my iPhone 5 and 4th generation iPad, there are some things that are different than from my droid phones that I miss and some things that I like about the iPhone.
I knew that I could download windows onto mac, but having spoken with 2 people who did that, they both said that it ran a bit slow but at least I could be somewhat productive while learning Mac. I haven't been able to get to the Apple store as I really want to try and get there first thing in the morning to try and avoid the mass crowds that always seems to be there.
As for PC, I figured that I needed to get all things new for the system. I asked an associate at Staples prior to 8 coming out and he told me what he knew of it and what he thought I would need to invest in for the new system.
I've had Dell laptop and if I can help it, would never buy one again. I've also had Gateway laptop, way back in 2001 and would not recommend at all. My laptop that just died was an HP--which I would considered again. Like the layout and feel of system. This desktop is a Dell, my hubby's hand me down from Hurricane Isabel.
I thought I was doing okay until I started reading some of your posts about different systems. lol, I've never even heard of some of them. lol |
