Why buy a Mac?

[sdfuk]

Hi

My wife has been persuaded by her brother to buy a Mac computer. I know that the look nice and that you don't have the clutter that you do with a normal PC but what are the pro's / con's over a PC? Sorry it's a noob question but I've never had a MAC and always used a PC for the last 15 years.

all she'll need it for are photos/email and some business apps such as word excel etc.

cheers for any reasons to buy/not to buy

Crikey,

Thanks for all the responses - quite a lot.

I think the wife will buy a MAC. As most of you have said it will do the things that she is most interested in (and also stop her from booting me off my PC).

I can't quite give up the PC just yet as I love messing about with it and find upgrading PC's good fun if expensive. I've also invested a fair bit of cash in PC software and love gaming.

The downside I find is having to make sure you got the latest firewall/ antivirus software up to date.

Cheers
