Bite the bullet and go to the closest Apple Store and get a MacBook or MacBook Pro. You will never regret it. Period.
You’ll hear from all sorts of people now, that Mac is a cult etc. I was a PC only guy for many years and just got tired off all the Windows BS!
Get a Mac, they just work!!
I'll second that.!!
Just spent 2 evenings trying to get past the BSoD on my daughter's PC. Finally gave up and got her a new (used) box.
Love my MacBook Air!
I have a MacBook Pro and I love it, but I rarely use the CD/DVD drive. I used to make DVD’s of family events, but now I just put them up on YouTube.
When I’m ready for an upgrade, I will seriously consider the MacBook Air. But I might miss my 17” monitor screen.
