Lab top!

I repair computers as a hobby and like teasing people about having an old computer. I'll tell them, "Your computer is soooooo old that your smiley faces have wrinkles on them!" -or- "Your computer is soooooo old that it has a wooden hard drive!"
Oh, btw, I still have my first computer - a TI99/4A.

2004 Dell desk top & Toshiba lap top ... I plan on getting
a better lap top & new monitor for desk top.
two G5 desk tops
and two 17" MacBook Pros one is three years old the other I just bought about 6 months ago
and in 20 years I have never had a crash or virus
I had to replace the power supply in the G3 about 3 years ago found one on ebay for $50.
and I had to have the monitor ribbon cable replaced on my older MacBook pro about the time I bought the new one, cost me $45.00
LOL, you sound allot like me RT
Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, 3-D max etc. and fortunately they are in the same studio in one state LOL although I do take my lap top on the road when I travel
Years ago when Macs OS system was still OS9 I would occasionally get locked up and have to restart, but I haven't had a lock up in years and I run some pretty intensive CPU taxing, memory hog, video editing and graphics software.
And a lot of the time I may be working on two or three projects at once.
I am rendering some 3-D animation graphics as we speak.
Dont get me wrong Macs can get viruses but they are rare, like I said I have never had one. And I dont know anyone personally who uses Macs that have had one.
Seriously, dont let the prices scare you, Macs are great machines, and if you compare apples to apples (no pun intended) you will see that the prices are nearly the same plus, they have a much higher resale value, and can be used for any application you could need. They are just better built machines and by far will out last pcs
The OS system may have a small learning curve but once you get the hang of it you will find it is much more user friendly than any pc. on the newer models you can even still run windows although I dont know why anyone would, the Mac OS is much more stable than windows could ever hope to be.
I can give you example after example of people I know who have always owned Macs and people who have had PCs that switched to Macs and never looked back. I know two people who have made their living working on and using computers that were pc users
that were force to start using to macs because of clients that owned them, and they have become hooked and dont even own pcs any longer.
One in particular is my wife's uncle who has a business that sets up and maintains networks for doctors offices, he has a client base of over 500 people and it was one of these doctors that had his office set up to use macs so Joe was force to b...

One in particular is my wife's uncle who has a business that sets up and maintains networks for doctors offices, he has a client base of over 500 people and it was one of these doctors that had his office set up to use macs so Joe was force to buy a mac so he could interface with his system and within three months Joe was hooked, he now has convinced more than half of his clients to switch over to Macs and he will tell you he gets only one or two service calls a month and most of that is for trivial things like software installation or upgrades, and in the 10 years or so he has been promoting the use of and setting up Mac systems, he has never had one case of a virus in any of the 250 + machines he maintains.
Yet he still has to constantly replace or repair pcs that other clients that use them that wont change to Macs.
He is actually thankful for those because it keeps him busy LOL
I bought my first 17" Macbook pro laptop refurbished, new they were $2500.00 I got it for $1855.00
Another thing apples customer service and tech support is the best I have seen, that is "if" you ever have to use them!
Good luck
I paid for it and think it's well worth the 30 odd bucks, of course as with anything "your mileage may vary"....
as a computer tech and a PC Business owner though, I highly recommend it...
