    Going to buy one for the family for Chrimbo?

    Should I go Apple or Windows?

    Ps. Should I install AVG?

    Depends what you want to use it for and how much you are willing to spend. Personally I would avoid a Mac unless you are creating music or publications. You can get a decent desktop PC for£500 nowadays.

    Probs $500 is all I'm willing to spend.

    I knew AVG was highly recommended.

    I don't want it personally, but the wife and weans need one.

    I was going to get a laptop but will just get a desktop as they all have tablets so the portability of a laptop is not really required.

    Thanks Dev.

    I have an Amiga 500 that's hardly been used. It's great for games and comes with 10 blank floppy discs. Yours for the princely sum of £499.99 <ok>
