My DH is into computers and brings work home...so he has a MAC he uses to do certain things and then I guess he needs that for his IPOD and then he has two newer Dells....and each of those have their own purpose...I think one is for presenting and one is for his e-mails and paperwork all I know is that the Dell is easier to use since I am not Mac friendly and that I am not allowed to delete anything works for me
