Anyone willing to throw out some advice? I have just started thinking about replacing our PC. My wife and I don't put a great demand on it; e-mail, web surfing, some purchasing, news monitoring, nonsense message boards, and the like.
I am thinking about a laptop rather than desktop (I use a laptop at work so have some familiarity) and am looking at something that can give me 7-8 years at a minimum. Processing speed doesn't need to be at the top of the list since we don't do a hell of a lot but I don't want something weak because it will only get slower over the years. We don't watch movies, etc but a 16 or 17 inch screen would be nice and would be somewhere on the desire list.
My son is a Mac believer and others I have talked to seem to think Mac is the way to go. They are a few bucks more but seem to be more reliable. My wife especially is not terribly computer literate so reliability is important along with ease of operation. I don't want to deal with crap every month because of breakdowns or viruses or whatever.
Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks
