Ive worked on Apple Macs since the late 1980s! shows how old I am
however the biggest problem is software when you go beyond surfing
word processing and basic pc stuff you have to buy Apple soft.
With Robolinux
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Linux- ... bolinux-Xfce-103540.shtmlyou can buy a good second hand laptop with 8gb, i5 and SSD hdd and it will be
light years faster than Apple and Windows. Very easy to install & run for a novice.
FreeBSD is also insanely good and depending on the Toshiba you got now
you can just try and install the above alternatives with a new SSD HDD
and you will see why linux and FreeBSD are awesome and free.
Software is all free and way more 3d, cad and all kinds of soft available
that you can choose by just a click, downloads and installs ready to use
Linux and FreeBSD are so free that Android uses Linux and sneaky Apple used FreeBSD
modified it and now try to sell the OS to peeps with PCs - very sneaky.
You have choices and for me I would never go Apple or Windows ever again.
