You can either buy one macbook for more money and keep it for YEARS trouble and virus free, or...buy several PCs and have to deal with viruses and malware and replace the PC about every 2-3 years. Never again. I came kicking and screaming to the apple party but everything I heard was true. Two years in and not one blip, one virus, one issue, no black screens, blue screens of death, no worries. They are worth every penny.
