Funny how different people have different experiences with the same things. I am writing this on my iPad, which is great for certain things but not for others. I use PC's a lot at home & work, like my win 7 AND my win 8 machines. I have a macbook that I use for a few specific things, but every time I try to use it for things I normally do on a PC I am frustrated to no end. At this time there is NO way I'd adopt a Mac as my main tech device.
I’m not on the Mac boat either. I continue to hear how they last for 10 years or whatever..I’m sure they’re good, not knocking them.
I’m decent with technology so I can handle the bugs that come with PC and I usually find laptops for 500 bucks that can last 5+ years or longer.
It’s not worth the money to me.
(I’ve had less problems since I switched to FireFox 5 years ago.)
