    For me, the stigma for Windows is virus acceptability but I understand the performance issues and it is a big deal.

    • The built in defender virus app, seemingly resolves it? Just cursory awareness myself. Im also leery.dorkKn1ght
    • i dont really sue protection. only time i got a shit virus was a unpatched win2k. where it must have open a remote access, because every measure to remove it

    • Windows is no less secure than OSX. There are just more of them and a better target. That's changing, of course, as iOS faces the same problems as Android.formed
    • In 25 years, I never had a virus on any of the Macs I used. (or iOS)CyBrainX
    • First of all, HP are not so good. I would prefer ASUS, as they build their own components. I recommend ASUS, not HP.rabbit
    • If you are going to buy a machine (AKA not an Apple), buy an ASUS, or Toshiba. Nothing else, nothing less.rabbit

    • HP are fine - my office has ran them for years with no incident. In my experience, Toshiba have been firestarters.face_melter
    • See how that works?face_melter
    • Asus machines have some shite components in themselves and Toshiba shit the bed years ago. There are no blanket answers, only research at time of purchase.ETM
    • I still say build a ground-up machine. Standard hand-selected parts from a local shop that does custom builds. Easiest to maintain and swap components.ETM
