No sympathy, windows are for looking through and nothing else
This ^^^
Windows updates killed my last laptop. It must have had about 18 lined up and the laptop just couldn't cope.
I made the decision then to go to Apple (much as I tried to resist) however, in the almost 3 years since, I've only had one issue, and that was probably user error.
I'd recommend making the change.
The only problem though is that 90% of the world us Microsoft products such as Outlook, Excel, Word etc, so you have to load Microsoft products onto it.
Which can cause the odd issue.
Overall I'm so pleased I did the switch, an iMac may cost 3-4 times what a laptop would cost, but it's money well spent.
Of course a Macbook (with decent memory) will only cost 3 times what a laptop would, and that's still worth the money.
