Has anyone else thought about jumping ship and going to the dark

I have used both Windows and Macs for many years.
If I have to buy a computer from my money, it is going to be a Mac.
Nowadays you can even run Windows on them, if you must: Bootcamp,
Parallels and others make it possible.
The laptops outperform typical PC's anyway, even when running
Windows
(natively).

Of those I have seen switching to a Mac, it took them usually some
two
weeks to learn the new habits, but none of them ever looked back.

Apple computers consistently rank at the top of Consumer Report
rating for
both performance and reliability. They are far from cheap though.

The Dell Inspiron laptop I purchased for my son ranked 2nd in
performance
and their latest tests of laptops and Dell ranked either 2nd or 3rd
for
reliability.

Sounds like your son is getting a super gift! ;-)
Is a nice gift. But kids always cost us money. My 2 cost me a little
over $100k for university degrees.
You got off cheaply.


Both are excellent students. #2 was on a 1/2 ride scholarship, and #1
was on a little less scholarship, and went to a state school. #2 went to
a private university.

My oldest was offered a full scholarship with $5000 annual expenses to
ASU, 1/2 scholarship to NYU and U of S. California. He went to his first
choice school which offered him a work study program. Damn kid. He wants
to be a college professor and felt the school he went to would carry more
weight in academia.

University of the Pacific offered bigger grant, but she preferred a better
location. Better school and location.
