      Ive been on PC up until a year ago.

      Mac is the way to go. Its more stable, laptops have longer battery, they are more powerful, the customer support is amazing, they are super easy to use and back up. The flash storage on Macs make them super fast as well.

      Ultimately you should just go to an apple store and ask to try out a Mac. They will let you and you can get a feel for the system.

      Some people say they are not upgradeable, but the point is you put the $$ in at the beginning, it lasts a long time. I have macs from 1998 that still work.
      Also most people that hate macs have never used one, or want one and cant afford it and are cranky.

              I prefer the Mac.  I do run Windows in vMware to support legacy financial application, but the mac's unix foundation is rock solid.    I have owned Windows workstations/laptops and multiple Mac models, and I would still choose the mac any day.  The machines are rock solid, hold their value, and last many years longer than their Windows based contemporaries following an OS upgrade.  A virus can happen to a mac but it is generally a harder nut to crack. True, the hardware can be a little expensive but you can also build your own Hackintosh if you know what you are doing.  I have both and I must admit that the hackintosh is a bit more fun.

                  I have been a mac user prior to it being popular. My first iMac I had to buy at Sears in the USA as it was the only store that carried it at the time. I am a fan of their customer service and any issues I have ever had they stand behind their product.

                  Its funny how people are so adamant in either pc or mac that it seems to be the same with politics in this country. Democrat or Republican. It seems there is no happy medium where things can de discussed. Its either your way or my way. 🙂

                              Used to be a PC builder and user, but just grew tired of keeping up with the latest and greatest serial numbers from a million different manufacturers, all of which inevitably meant nothing because without any new software specifically designed for that hardware, the end result was a computer that did exactly the same things in the same way. That and when I jumped ship it was during the era of Windows 8.1, possibly the worst piece of design I've ever had the misfortune of using. That and I rarely play games on a PC these days, and found that for my work the iMac was incredibly good value - sure a PC tower is cheaper, but to buy a stand alone screen with equivalent specs to the Retina 5K iMac makes any pricing difference negligible, not to mention Apple's excellent customer service and support.

                                  This sums up what I wanted to say  😛

                                        I changed lots of パソコン(s) over the years, but I ended up using a MacBook Air and lately a tiny MacBook 12'' while offloading the heavy workload over a Linux / OpenBSD hybrid cluster . From now on , all life as this !!! I will never change again

                                          Mac. I use a Lenovo ThinkPad at work (with the touchscreen that does bizarre things when you actually touch it). I use both platforms everyday (and a unix server in the background to do the heavy lifting), and I appreciate the unix underpinnings of the Mac that make it not just easier to use, but far more efficient. Basic things like searching for a file are so much better, due to the underlying power of unix. It's also more transparent, as I can see every process running, and know exactly which program (or website) is the one that is sucking power and caused the fan to turn on. It has great longevity (my 3 and a half year old MacBook Pro runs circles around the brand new ThinkPad) and it will still have great resale value when I spring for a new one.
