New Computer Advice
Hi Sue -
Good to hear from you.
To make is simple: A new Mac is definitely the way to go. Macs are more reliable, better looking, faster, more durable, last longer, easier to use and less likely to be bogged down with viruses or security vulnerabilities. Macs are also less prone to out-of-the-blue flakiness.
They do cost a bit more than PCs, but that’s only because Apple doesn’t skimp on quality of components. Even the least expensive Mac is more powerful and more featured than most PCs.
Choosing a Mac is easier than choosing a PC. Basically you just have to decide what size you’d like.
I think the new 13″ Macbook Pro is a really nice machine.

But some find the 13″ screen to be a bit too small.
Even the regular Macbook is very nice (I used one myself for years):
And it’s a bit cheaper than the Pro.
The prices on all the Apple equipment are quite close across the board (from Apple or a Reseller), but sometimes we can get some discounts through our distributors.
Let me know what you think.
All the best,
hunter

My question for you is this – the school I work at is pretty much all PC. My kids and husband think I really need to get a Mac. I am not up-to-date on how compatible everything is. If I use my computer mostly (90%) for work, is it okay to go with a Mac. > > I welcome your advice when you have the time. > > Thanks, > Sue >
