I went with a Macbook Pro after years (almost decades) of PC ownership. For one, I hate Windows 8....with a passion. But also, I own an iphone and an ipad and I am used to the way things work with Apple and its operating systems. My Macbook is very fast, very portable, and I don't ever have to deal with things like popup ads, taking long to find things, etc. I feel like everything that I do takes less time and less steps on my Mac. Couple that with being able to iMessage from it, sync all of my email accounts the same way they are on my phone, use Notes and other apps that stay in sync with iCloud, and now Extensions coming...it is a seamsless experience. I have a top of the line desktop PC with a 30" LED monitor that I might as well sell. I have not been on it in months.
