If you were to  buy a new computer will still go for an IBM PC compatible or an apple computer or  a Linux compatible computer?. I've been using an IBM PC compatible computers for a long time, I've also tried using an apple computer and compared them and I don't really see any huge difference and but they say apple and Linux softwares doesn't crash as often as windows would. The only difference I've seen so far is that batteries of an apple notebook lasts longer than those of IBM PC compatible notebooks.
