Only Apple for me

Been reading about the probable demise of Firefox, once touted to be the most secure browser, but Chrome has overwhelmed them, bloated as it is, it's become the go to browser. I will continue to use Firefox until the end or if hacking becomes an issue then I am looking to move to TOR, Snowdon's favorite. https://www.torproject.org/ It looks interesting but will probably limit my page feeds. Accumulated costs $.00 at this point.

I'm a Apple / Mac gal..........have been for several years, and will continue to be.
I'm still somewhat tech challenged, always will be 🙃😜🤪.
I find Apple / Mac so much easier to get around, plus online help whenever needed, which i have used many, many times......i started with Windows......ended being confused a lot.....and upgrades.....and updates were never free.
Have never paid for an update or upgrade on Apple / Mac.

Happy camper. 😃

I am planning to switch my laptops over to Linux once the current Ubuntu LTS version is solid.

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS working smooth on 1 desktop, Debian 10 taking care of business on my server. I run Manjaro Linux(an ArchLinux derivative)on my Dell laptop- everything rock solid.

Edit: I do like Apple products, had several Macbooks and an iPad; never had an iPhone though.

I’ve had three MacBook Pro computers and at least as many Windows platform computers; Dell & HP. The Windows platform computers were flawed by multiple updates and poor overall performance.
The MacBook Pro on the other hand gives me reliability and speed I need to download and stream movies without interruption. Note however, I subscribe to a fast cable network that undoubtedly affects computer performance.

My experience with Windows computers are less than enthusiastic. Windows platform computers seem finicky and unpredictable in comparison to Apple computers. Windows Computers are slower than Apple computers, plus Windows computers are prone to viral and malware attacks than Apple computers.

I started out using Vista Windows computer and upgraded to Windows 7, Windows 8, and then Windows 10. On Apple I’ve upgraded from Mountain Lion to Catalina over the course of three MacBook Pro Computers. I’m happy and content with every Apple computer I’ve owned.

Apple computers are expensive compared to Windows computers, but by comparison Apple computers are worth the extra dollars based on performance and Apples near immunity to viruses and malware.

I dont like the Safari browser in my iPad. Constantly messages that webpage not available. iPads are not repairable. Battery dies. Buy new one. That's Apple. Designed that way
Windows? They scrap as good operating system like Windows XP. One of the easiest to use.
 
I have about 14 Gigabytes of music stored on my windows computer. Most of it is MP3. If I change over to an Apple, can I move all than music and play it?

I also use Excel for financial records and calculations. Can that be moved to an Apple?

Music files can be stored on a flash drive and copied to just about any computer.

It's a good idea to back up your music and pictures to a flash drive in case of a crash.

I'm not sure about Excel as it is a Microsoft product.

I just love Excel and Word.
 
Two MBP’s and an Air here. I’ve been using Apple products since the early 80’s. I do use Parallels to run Windows 10 for some applications. But haven’t owned a PC since 2008.

It is difficult to fault Apple construction methods, they are very durable.

Have had my ipad for over 10 years, battery holds its own very well, but maybe i don't use mine as much as you and others.
 
How long do the batteries hold their charge is the criterion for rechargeable batteries when not plugged into a wall plug. That's the problem. Portability. They will last a long time but you can't take it out. The one I have is a hand me down but I can't upgrade the software. So I'm stuck at 9.3.5. Which means I can't download apps that a new I pad can.
 
The iPad battery can be replaced, but I’ve never had to replace one of mine. It can be a DIY project but the tools needed aren’t inexpensive. You can usually find independent repair guys that will replace a battery for a lot less than Apple ($99).

Making good use of the battery means turning off some features and enabling the low power mode. If you don’t care for Safari, there are eight other browsers available.

Definitely not DIY project for an I pad. There are no screws. The screen is glued on. iPhone has screws that needs a special screwdriver. I also use Dolphin for certain sites.

They tell you that you need antivirus protection on a Mac, but I never knew of anyone that had problems.
After 35 years, and no virus issues on my computers, I guess I'm lucky

I've downloaded malware by mistake, slowed my mac down until I ran malwarebytes
