This is a subject probably better covered on the Apple Mac Forum, but in short there are far less "issues" with a Mac by any measurement. There's almost zero need to worry about drivers or anything of that nature. Moving parts? Depending on the device there's a cooling fan and a hard drive (although with SSD that's no longer a moving part). My Macbook Air has one moving part, a cooling fan (which is almost dead silent so you'd never know it had one).Question for you??? Does the iMac, MacBook, etc. Have as many moving parts, drivers and such as the PC??? I want my next computer to be a MAC as I am having such a hard time trying to download ethernet drivers for my Dell 8400 PC. Thank goodness for my iPad and iPhone or I would have nothing to use. But I need my PC to upload docs and such on the Internet. UGGHHH

FWIW I started "computing" back in the Commodore 64 days, moved through DOS and began custom building my own PC's. I "discovered" Macs about five years ago and now you couldn't give me a PC for free. I use several Apple products everyday, throughout the day. The phrase "it just works" isn't just a phrase, it's a fact. Apple products are not perfect by any means, they have their quirks once in a long while, but they are as close to it as anything I've ever used. As with anything, there is a short learning curve but since everything is so intuitive anyone can be up and running in a couple of hours. Kiss driver issues, registry edits, incompatibility, viruses, malware and crashes goodbye!
Even if you still have the desire to run Windows (or Linux, etc.) for some reason you can easily do that on a Mac as well. As a developer I still use PC's and employ Windows, Linux and Android programs and devices for testing purposes but nothing is easier to work with than Apple.
More here about making the switch:
Apple - Why You
Apple also makes it tremendously easy to switch. If you have an Apple store nearby they will migrate everything from your old PC for you for free or it's easy to do yourself. More here:
Apple - Support - Switch 101
There are heaps of other resources as well...just Google "Switching to a Mac".
Bottom line I just wish I had made the switch sooner!
Again, don't hesitate to hop on over to our sister forums and posts some questions...there are areas for Macs, MacBooks, iPhones, software/apps and much more:
