Sorry dori but I prefer Microsoft than Apple because I was used to the interface. I use an Alienware laptop which had served me well for 1 year. I hope it can lasts for another year. This laptop is heavy and thick and it is the complete opposite to yours. I am a video gamer that is why. Everyone had their differences when it comes to our product. But for instance, if Microsoft does not release its new operating system or become disabled in computers, I would switch to Apple grudgingly.
