If you get a medium to high specked PC, it will be just as fast as a Mac, for a while. Then the PC will eventually get malware, and become slow. Some people who are really computer savy, can keep a windows machine going fast. The anti virus software for a PC, uses resources, and will slow your computer too. I have been using Macs since '07, and I cant see myself going back to windows.
Apple Laptop or PC??

you know, apple just recently got a nasty virus.
so even apple isn't immune, -
-
Apple has only been immune so far because the price point is prohibitive. Because more people have PCs, if you are trying to wreck havoc, you go w/ the lowest common denominator. The PC. As more people get Apple products, the risk will go up.
cowboy_tech Thanks this. -
I'll stick with my PC, thanks. I'm a gamer, and PC offers much more variety in games than Apple. Plus, the games come out much faster for PC, and I don't want to wait for chancy Apple "ports".
I will admit that for web-based basics, email, and graphics (movies and such), Apple does offer a superior product. But I'm not losing 75% of my game library (or more) when I can tweak my graphics to supply a similar experience for movie watching (similar enough that my eyes cannot tell the difference, at least).cowboy_tech Thanks this. -
Why not have both worlds..

Those of us who remember the 68K Mac days will also remember the virus problems that plagued Macs back then. (Remember infected Hypercard stacks???)
OS X is a *lot* better, since it's based on a Unix core, and so has significant protection on its system files.
