This is my first Mac experience as an owner.  I've owned a desktop "pc" for the last 15 years and feel like I spent most of my time either trying to figure out why it wouldn't do what I wanted it to do or trying to find the right person that could come and bail me out.  One year after spending $1000 to update our "pc" so I could continue with my work, my son made the comment  that I could go out and nearly buy a new Macbook for what we were spending in a matter of months on our old computer.  I kept researching the pros and cons of "pc" vs Mac and finally decided to give this Macbook a try....
