mac may be seen as something bought for attention or popularity but as a matter of fact it is extremely useful and versatile especially for students. I am so happy that i accidentaly spilled water on my PC and got a Mac, so much better.

somewhat true, considering that the majority of the population use PC, there would naturally be more viruses designed to operate on Microsoft systems. However it's not 100% true that Mac's are virus proof, its just not as likely as a PC

yes it is definitely useful for some things; like you do photography and there are a number of specialized programs you could far superior to windows OS but other than general word processing and checking email/facebook/BoS/etc what really is the difference?
