Should I buy a PC or Mac for working from home?

Estelle is about to start working from home for a lawyer who uses a MacBook Pro. She was thinking of buying a Windows laptop, but would a Mac be a better choice?

I retired from office life some years ago, but I am about to start working from home, for a lawyer. I have an iPhone and an iPad, but need to purchase a laptop to carry out several tasks. These include: adding to a database which has been set up using Excel; booking flights and hotel accommodation; sending and receiving emails; producing invoices and flyers, and using Skype.

The lawyer has an Apple MacBook Pro 13.

I recommend buying a desktop PC, rather than a laptop, for working from home. Desktop PCs are much better for your health. They let you to use a better keyboard, a bigger screen, and a mouse. Also, they usually give you more power for your money, they are easier to repair and upgrade, and they last longer.
