100% agree on Macs. Personally I have never had to play IT support when my parents had a Mac. Now with Windows, it’s basically whack-a-mole. Some days the camera stops working and some days WhatsApp doesn’t startup. And they are not power users by any means. So they don’t muck around with their setup either.

We've had to do tech support for family using Macs, but I'll admit it's been less than my Windows-using family. I have 1 family member in mind in particular that I think would have been better off with a Mac. And I probably would have been better off, too, because I could tell them I don't know much about them and send them to the store with a clear conscience. ;)
