I have been told by lots of mac mavens that macs are better. I'm a computer guy, but I have a hell of a time figuring out how to ' get things done' with a mac. I own two of them, (and four windows machines and a linux) but they will be my last ones. I'll go with the cheaper and better windows OS. With my way of thinking, everything is more difficult on an Apple computer.
I would get a Windows 10 PC Murray. Windows 7 is already out of the supply line.
I hear that from many computer guys, I tought a lot of PC users to use a Mac, they are frustrated in the beginning because they are used to the complicated system. If you wanna get deep in to the system, and fiddle around with the ones and zeros, write code etc, get a PC. If youre on very limited budget, get a PC, if you wanna play games, get a PC, if you dont wanna mess around with stuff, just wanna get your work done, and not have the computer ask you a million and one questions, ....get a Mac. A Mac is easy to use, my 76 year old father who is the most non technical person on this planet, can use a Mac. And; There is NO VIRUSES for a Mac! Period! There is what they call "Malware" that some people think is a virus, but on a Mac you manually have to install and OK that to get your computer ruined, just don't install crap that you dont know where it came from. Its actually blocked in the system, you can not install that, unless you go in and turn off that protection. Mac OS is built on Unix, one of the most used and safest systems there is. I got my first PC in 1985, my first mac in 1991, I owned 40-50 of them over the years,I never had a virus on any Macs, (never used virus protection) an unprotected Windows machine has a virus after 15 minutes connected to the internet.
