Mac is an option....at a higher price. I believe when it comes to Operating Systems it's all a matter of preference.

I run Windows 7 (most stable Microsoft OS thus far), Linux on another PC....and use the iPad 2 (great tablet). The only reason Windows PC's get a bad reputation for viruses is due to the fact that most businesses and end users own them over a Mac (various reasons).

PC's own the larger percentage of the market.....by far. Once more businesses and end users implement Macs the hackers will have more reasons to attack that OS....and will succeed. No OS is foolproof.....and never will be.

Not trying to start a Mac vs PC war....just stating facts. I like the Mac Pro/Mac Book.....and have owned a few Macs over the years. I happen to prefer the PC. I say buy what suits your wants/needs.

Do the research.......I even suggest visiting an Apple store if you have one nearby. That is how I ended up going with the iPad over the Xoom. Weigh all options......the fate of the Caribbean is in your hands!

God Speed.......
