The main thing for me is that Mac's can be cost prohibitive in comparison to normal PCs as their cheapest unit is $700 going up to $1200 after that. It all depends on what you do, though. Mac is a safer OS than Windows, for sure. 

Safety is a big thing for me because I'm not a huge porn fiend or anything but I do tend to open stupid things people email me or stupid things on websites that I probably shouldn't.

Will you be paying more for the machine than you really have to pay/should be paying considering what you'll use it for? Probably. But if you're alright with that who cares.

If I were still in college, I'd 100% go with a PC just because of the easier way to keep files and whatever organized, as well as easier to get to programs and things, but I generally just use it to respond to emails, surf the web, follow fantasy football, and minor things in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (generally opening mail attachments that I'll never view again).

Probably be paying more but I don't have a whole lot of expenses and it would keep things running smoothly with all my other devices.

Thanks for the advice.
