I hope I didn’t write too much! This info should really help!

I read through your problem and I think I have an answer for you.
It seems like you would want a good computer, based on you prior experiences. In this case, I believe you should get an Apple computer, also known as a Mac.

First off, it seemed like you were distraught about viruses getting to your computer. Most PCs (such as Dells) are very prone to viruses. Some viruses you get on a PC are irreversible and unfixable. On a Mac, it is IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A VIRUS, TROJAN HORSE, SPYWARE, ADWARE, MALWARE, or WORM. IT IS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE. This is due to:
1) Macs being more reliable
2) A whole different type of base code which makes it technically impossible for a Mac to get a virus.

Also, you are going to be wanting a fast computer. MACS ARE EXTREMELY FAST! In some cases, Macs are UP TO TWO TIMES FASTER THAN PCs! Dells are usually known to be unreliable. Furthermore, the chips in Dells are slower as well. MACS USE TOP OF THE LINE DUAL-CORE INTEL PROCESSORS! You are really not going to want a slow PC for you writing assignments, so for you a Mac would be great.

Additionally, MACS CAN RUN BOTH OS X (the amazing Mac operating system) AND WINDOWS. For example, if you ever need Windows for one of you school assignments, Macs can run both. Also, you get all of the functionality and speed of a Mac but on Windows. With a Mac, you can’t go wrong.

Lastly, service is AMAZING ON A MAC! Consistantly in surveys, Apple leads the way in customer satisfaction. If you have a problem, Apple’s amazing technical support will help you. Personally, I have experienced both Dell’s support and Apple’s support. Apple is amazing. AND REAL PEOPLE CAN HELP YOU TOO! If you drop by too one of your Apple stores, workers (called Mac Geniuses) will assist you with your problem flawlessly for no charge. Here is proof:

So, lastly, I hope you make the right choice with you computer. Macs are some of the best computers out there. Don’t make the mistake that millions of people have around the world. That is: buying PCs. I have used both Macs and PCs in my lifetime. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: PCs are unreliable, Macs are the way to go. I hope you take my word into consideration, and I leave you with this quote:

MAC USERS SWEAR BY THEIR COMPUTERS, PC USERS SWEAR AT THEIR COMPUTERS!

P.S. – There are countless other websites I could give you, but they all say one thing: Macs rule. There are countless testimonies from filmmakers, tech writers from newspapers, and tech-savvy people.

Macs are expensive but thats because you can use it for several years without having to upgrade anything. And it won’t break.

Get a Mac.
