Mac laptop

Im sick of these computer problems ,seems like they should run trouble free for longer than they do. Have a Lenovo for a few years now,already took it to get it cleaned up ,so it would function. Now again hardly working freezing up ect. Went to best buy they said for two hundred they could probably get it working right again.It cost around 6 hundred about three years ago. So was looking at a dell intel pentium2127u laptop for three hundred,im thinking maybe this is a better way to go think of it as a throw away after a couple seasons?. Anybody know if this is a decent laptop? Then I looked at a mac the cheapest was around $900. Im not familiar with the mac,will it be much different and user friendly? Any suggestions the dell vs a Mac.If I knew the Mac would remain virus free and not bogged down for 6 or 7 years would maybe try it.Someone said they are more trouble free. Want to buy some kind of replacement by the weekend,any helpful input appreciated. thanks

    Another one who got tired of slow running, problem prone machines running windows. Bought a I Mac several years ago and have no problems of any type. Easy to use, and would never back to the other operating system.

    Thats a tough call. Personally I have no interest in Win8 so a mac is probably in my future when this computer quits. Just bought a Macbook Pro for church. Cost me $1299. and it is probably the best money I have spent in a while. They are less prone to virus, start nearly instantly and have unbelievable battery life. Consider it a computer that will last you 5 years.
