I understand you guys have probably answered a ton of these but i can seem to get past page 2 of the topics. And i KNOW that there are more topics referring to apple vs MS.
My question...
I currently have a:
Toshiba satellite p35 Laptop with a P4 2.8 ghz
60 gig Hd
512 mb RAM
Windows XP Pro
I constantly have problems with my computer due to viruses(we know why so don't ask how or why) and running excessively slow. Ive heard alot about macs though and recently i wanna jump into a Mac OS. I know just about nothing on macs except i used them when i was 10 in elementry school.
Is it true that there are fewer problems with a Mac then PC? Or this 0 virus thing for macs? do they really RARELY crash?
And if so, (looking at the laptops) which should i consider? Macbook or Macbook pro?
I currently do alot of surfing on the web and playing around with Itunes (oh, and Itunes runs slow as **** on my PC, does it do any better when itunes is running where it belongs?) I want to get into Photochoping again also. I play the occasional game here and there. And finally, what about this Dual Boot (bootcamp?) that i hear about with running XP and Mac OS on a Mac computer?
Any info or links would be appreciated.
P.S. I have tried to search the web for info on this topic but i can't get an unbiased opinion. When i search i get "PC users have more this and that while apple blows nuts!" or "Mac users can achieve this and that while Microsoft users stare at blue screens!"
