I have used the PC's for about 12 yrs and had nothing but trouble. I bought a Mac (mac-mini) two years ago and other than being a little slow for me to learn (i am 68) I would not change back for all "the tea in China" as the saying goes. Buy Mac. and you will love it. If but for no other reason than you will probably be trouble free. Yes cost more than PC, but worth it in terms of peace of mind.
