I use a MacBook Pro, I would never go back to a windows based laptop.

They are expensive, but very very reliable & durable, no issues with virus or crashing.

Everyone in the office uses MacBook now, we have totally removed windows based laptops as an option

The getting used to it is my biggest worry.

We also have iPhones & my wife uses an ipad, so my head is telling me to synchronise the lot rather than having separate systems but I turn into a proper old man moody diva each time I upgrade the phone.

TBH, the first time I got an iPhone, I hated it, but within a month, I was confused how to use my Mrs old Android phone.
She’s got the MacBook Air, I still use Windows, but if I have to use hers, it feels Alien, but, if I had to use it permanently, I know it’d be a lot easier, just from the way things do flow when I get going on it.
If that makes sense?<confused>

Sad day for my old loyal friend.

For the last 5/6 years I've been using Linux for my OS - I've found it to be much better than Windows: it's full of free applications that cost money via Microsoft, easier on your hardware and best of all, no constant updating.
