You mentioned you like to Facetime with your kids. Does Facetime work on a windows-based computer? Or were you using the term Facebook generically? We skype with out kids on Windows based computers. I've never had a virus or a crash in a decade. Hackers are moving more and more into Macs, so you're not necessarily protected as much as you used to be on a Mac.

It's just whatever you're used to. I had to use Windows based computer software for my work and have never gone back to Mac. I do have an iPad but only use it for travel as I basically find it to be a pain to work with. Absolutely do not like Safari. If Surface ever comes out with an unlocked cellular version that I can take overseas and buy data cards for, that will be my next tablet.
