Run a quality AntiVirus and you should be good. I still use my Toshiba Laptop with great results.

Im truely sorry you have been sucked into Apple
"Sucked" into apple???
A QUAD core processor, a 1 TB hard drive, a 27inch 1440 resolution screen with a contrast ratio of 1000:1.
If this is getting "sucked in" hopefully it happens more often!!!!
Hopefully my parents "suck" me into a Nikon D3x this holiday season!!!!!!!
Yeah but what did you pay for that? I can build a desktop with windows for about $1400-$1500 with an i5, 8GB of RAM, decent graphics card, and 27" LED monitor. Maybe a little bit more than that.
I paid $1699
Finding the 27inch LED 1440 resolution screen w/ 1000:1 contrast ratio is where the money is going to go.
And sadly nick, your custom built computer won't have a sweet apple logo!!!
LOL!
People, buy your computers based on what you want them for!
If your a die hard gamers, get the fully pimped Dell XPS
If your a family looking for a reasonably priced computer that you can use to buy things online, update Facebook and so your kids can do there homework, get the HP, dell, ect. . . .
Talking about how one computer is better than the other or how one OS is better than the other is pointless.
It's like ford vs chevy.
Gas vs. Diesel
I mean. What works for you is what works for you. Be happy you have what you want. A lot of people in this country rely on outdated computers in their local libraries. A lot of people in this world have never even used a computer.
Lets invest our time into more constructive debates.
Like what logo is most sexy? The Windows logo or Apple logo?
Exactly! I'm a gamer, but don't want to pay more than I have to. The components are now all the same, so if one software allows more options for gaming, then that's what I'll buy. If I were less a gamer and more of a multi-media kind of guy or, better yet, only needed to surf the web, share pics and take care of some business, then my goal would be to spend even LESS money than I have on my current machine for my current needs. This would still be PC, though you do get what you pay for so, going too low and buying a base E-machines PC might not produce the same results over the long run.
To be honest, Mac or PC, most people over-buy computers. My parents routinely spend as much as I do (partially because they pay retail price at Best Buy and have the Geek Squad hook everything up) for their home PC's and all they do is surf the web, look at pics and play Chicktionary. They'd be just as well served by a tiny little case filled with a dual Atom processor for a few hundred and re-using their old, perfectly fine LCD monitor.
The same can be said for toys of all sorts, including vehicles and homes. We buy what we feel we deserve, not what we need. I'm just as guilty of this as the next guy, but at least I know what's in the koolaid I'm drinking.
