I would say Apple is the was to go especially since new windows emulators are incredible. Any windows software will run perfectly on Apple equipment (with the emulator), if you must use it. I may even say better. With my new MacBook (laptop) I got for $1049 I never have to run/buy anti-virus software and I have never received a pop-up in 6 months use. If your are unfamiliar will the operating system no worries. My advice can be summed up with these few terms; common sense, click and drag, and just as you move from one aircraft to another brain dump all knowledge of your past equipment (Windows).
Cheers,
Happy Mac user
