Default Malware Problems
I just read in "Consumer Reports" magazine (June 2013 issue) that "58.2 million online users experienced a malware infection that affected their computer's features or performance." And the cost to fix it was $3.9 billion.

I think it's a good reason to look for a quality computer with lots of built in protections. Am I wrong about that?

I just got some information from a friend that laptops can be as secure and reliable as a desktop computer. If that's true, it sounds like a better choice and I would think about getting one too.
