It's extremely rare that a Mac will get a virus.

I never even considered that..

Hmm.. I'll have to look into it.

Thanks!

No problem, Apple even offers their free warranty just as good as new which is nifty.

I'd sell you mine if I wasn't having problems with it.

guiLT · 01-21-2013, 09:40 PM

It's an option. No doubt about that.

How much would you sell it for?

FenwickHockey65 · 01-21-2013, 09:42 PM

I honestly don't know. I think my mom's planning on picking it up after I get my new one though. She just needs a Facebook machine and that's really all this thing's becoming good for.

What I'm planning on picking up.

You could be a cheap ass like me and win a laptop in a contest.

Dell Vostro 3750 with an i3 chip.
Not what I would buy, but free is a great price.

I've used one of these at one of my old jobs. It wasn't too bad.

I've tossed the idea when it comes time to replace in a couple years of getting one of these but the idea of using the main TV for a computer just seems like a waste.

I own a second hand retail store and come across every model of tablet, ultrabook, laptop and desktop out. My house is stuffed with pre-owned but like new electronics.

Samsung and Acer perform top notch. Other than IBM which is in its own league.
If I were looking into a powerhouse I would build one. Choosing the os best for me.

I've had my Samsung laptop for almost 3 years and no issues. I've been using Trend Micro antivirus software for the past Ten years and have not had a virus infect any of my computers.

Two more jobs to apply for.

Plus GM for kicks.
