I was just reading more posts and I know it comes down to the price. If you don’t have 1,700$ (iMAC) you can’t spend them it’s that simple. If you have the money then it will easily pay for itself over time. My husband went through 2 HP Laptops each about 600$ (MacBook is 1200$) in 4 years! In addition to that the first one was killed beyond repair with a virus the sencond one we had in twice in 2 years with virus damage (each repair aound 200$) even though we had so much anti-everything on the computer that it took forever to get the computer started, don’t even ask downloading something. I found out that new PCs and Laptops works great usually for about a year from there it is downhill.
Thought I just throw in or experience to the cost aspect;)
