I'm sorry to put all you C&T regulars through this yet again since I checked the forum and found about 15 similar threads, but after reading through some of them I think I need to ask the question anew, since my circumstances are slightly different, and also with technology you never know that answers given even six months ago are the same as they would be today.
So. My laptop is now reaching the end of a laptop's usual life expectancy (it passed its third birthday in August) and it's making me wonder whether it's time to get a new one. It's working fine for now, but so was my previous laptop before it suddenly and unexpectedly bit the dust.
This leaves me in the predicament of deciding whether or not to go for another Windows computer (which is all I've ever used) or switch to a Mac. So I thought I'd list the things you should know before you answer:
- I am on my laptop constantly, but I never do anything too heavy-duty. The main things I use it for are browsing the internet (mainly PokeCommunity lol), MSN, IRC, Microsoft Word, Photoshop and The Sims 3, so it's not like it will be a work computer.
- I have an iPhone 4 and love it. Not sure if this is relevant or not.
- I have always been attracted to the sexyness of Macs, though somewhat put off by the compatibility issues (which may or may not even be a problem these days)
- Money isn't that much of an issue for me right now, so the affordability factor doesn't really matter.
- I'm a bit of a technological retard sometimes, so I wonder whether changing from Windows to Mac would be an easy transition for me.
So, uh, yeah. What do you guys think?
