I have used both PC and Apple products. I use windows for my computers and generally they have been fine, however when I was recently forced to upgrade to Windows 10 (I did not choose to upgrade, did so without my permission) I have never had so many problems. I am really disappointed with 10 and I will have to take that into consideration when I purchase my next computer. The pc itself has held up really well and I would think it would outlast nearly any mac laptop based on my experience. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for reading!
