Apple or PC????? Why?

I currently use my computer to watch movies, research and buy/sell stocks, and keep in touch with grandchildren on Facebook. I do not need a laptop as I am comfortable at my desk. I am thinking of buying an additional large screen to enhance the movie viewing experience but would normally use the regular screen. Which one should I choose and why?

    apples are great for graphics, animation, and usually hackers have a problem with hacking them and giving them viruses. this is why Disney uses them. They also are expensive and hard to upgrade. the PC's today have gotten significantly better since the old days and can do many things like an Apple computer especially the Intel's i3, i5, and i7's. they are less expensive than an Apple computer and usually are easy to upgrade. There are malware programs and Antivirus programs that now protect them. They also now are good for gaming if you have the right setup. This is why I would recommend a PC hands down.

    The entry level Mac desktops are all-in-one machines - they're sort of a hybrid, they've got some of the power of a desktop but the footprint of a laptop. The problem is that like laptops they're harder to modify and repair. Apple does have conventional tower systems but those are the pros and they tend to be much more expensive.

    There are other considerations - different windows users have varying experiences in making the transition to Mac.
