Insecurity? You fear it being stolen or damaged? Or viruses?
I don’t agree that a good Windows laptop will cost you more than a Macbook. If anything, it’ll still cost you a little less. High-end Lenovo Thinkpads still run less than Macbook Pro’s.
HOWEVER…I usually advise Macbooks if the person isn’t deeply technically inclined. One other of my secrets to using Windows successfully is that I know how to maintain, tweak, and use the OS effectively. If you’re the type who doesn’t know how to get into the inner workings and make your machine sing…then go for the user-friendly setup of Apple.
If money isn’t an object for you, then go Apple if you want.
BTW…my iMac at work (new one) crashed twice in the last two weeks. Grey screen of death. I haven’t seen a Windows crash in years. It just comes down to what you’re into and how well you can utilize the system. Macs recently have had security holes for viruses and malware.
The point to this is there is no fullproof solution. Windows or Mac, make sure you get into the OS workings and know how to run solid and secure.
