I have both a windows laptop and a MacBook Pro laptop with a 24 inch monitor for my failing eyesight. I use the MacBook more because of security. I use it for email, utube, searches, photo scanning and archiving, videos, music playlists for download ( we dance), and photo corrections. The windows machine is used for email and operating the Epson scanners. I can also rip music and write to disk in mp3 easier. Video of our dancing is also easier to save to disk. Apple has great security, but they hinder your ability to save family videos and audio tracks to disk or external devices. Windows is easier to work with there. Windows also has more software written for it. We chose security over volume.

It depends on what you want to do. I would recommend a computer that uses finger print or facial recognition in lieu of typed in passwords. That may make life easier for you.
We also have the Mac Mini, but our version does not use fingerprint recognition.
