Its got to be a Mac. My first one was still going strong after 7 years (only changed because chips became much faster) and my 2nd is 5 years old and not worth changing for a new one. They are expensive initially but will outlast any PC based laptop, so will be cheaper in the long run. Try using a 2 year old PC based laptop - it will be riddled with viruses (unless you have top notch anti virus software) and have a rubbish interface from day one.

The reason the macs do not get viruses is bacause there is no profit to be made. The sole reason the viruses are written is money. There is no point in targeting the minority.

Every one must have antivirus software one does not even have to go on line to get infected. These days you do not have pay for it even banks offer AV software with their on-line banking. There free ones too.

Just my 2p :)

How did we get to viruses?  I need something that is fast, compatible (Windows compatible) and reliable to play games on.  And that is IA architecture.  MACs are ok for you individualists.  I play games.  My games may not be available for MAC.  I never loved MAC in the first place.  You only catch viruses if you are totally unaware of virus distributing practices.  As I work in the field, I am rather aware.  I've not had one to this day.  Ever.  On IA architecture.  Yet, I play all my favourite games in Win 7, even DOS games. And I am online a lot.  PCs rule, and my next one may be superfast and superslim.

Well said Carrot.
But if you refused to tow that line, your employers would probably have you shot in the car park ;)
