Mac or not to Mac !?

I’m currently starting up my own commercial and residential real estate investing company and trying to decide to go with Mac or not. Anyone have any insight or recommendations or what type of computer software works better for the real estate investing world or if it even matters.

We've used Macs exclusively for years. I'm typing this on a MacBook Air as we speak. They are certainly more expensive, but they are hard to break and last a long, long time. In recent years, the compatibility is not as big of an issue as it used to be. We really don't have a lot of issues with the Macs. I've had both PCs and Macs and I have found the Mac to be a more stable platform. It's more expensive, but I've had far fewer performance issues with the Macs. I hope that helps.
