(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have been wondering for 2 years now wether to buy a pc or build a pc or buy a macbook pro i want something easy that i can watch movies and have no viruses and maybe play some games( Steam) i dont know if i want to buy/ build a pc because i have had 3 laptop and a tower with windows and all of them had viruses even if i had anti viruses but my macbook air never had any virus and is still running smoothly its hard for me to choose because to be honest i think that pc would be better and cheaper but since viruses are a thing im thinking of just getting a mac more expensive but lasts longer with no viruses.leave your recommendation and why i should get a pc or why i should get a mac put some reasons too
Thank you

I honestly like windows more than mac but the only thing that bothers me is the viruses on windows

You don't get viruses just because you are on Windows. It is either a slow computer that you have or you don't know what you're downloading.

If your just worried about viruses get a good anti-virus and malwarebytes anti malware. Then just be careful about what you download from the internet. Viruses don't download and install themselves.
