I agree with anyone who says they cost more but my experience is that is well-worth it to be hassle-free. They last longer and are, or so it seems, far easier to use generally.
The giveaway with the Macs versus Windows situation is that most who go over to Macs do not usually wish to return to Windows. The reverse however, sees people who just cannot wait to get back on a Mac.
The man who should know is at this link:-

He is saying that there are 400 million W10 users, worldwide whilst there are 100 million Macs.
What he doesn't mention is that you can, probably, buy 3 W10 PCs for the cost of one Mac!
Since the hardware inside a pc/Mac is virtually the same, the box is not the issue - but the cost of the software is.
I've never quite understood why MS haven't gone with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach possibly they had to keep updating because the Hackers/virus writers have always favoured going for the biggest volume.
One other thought is that those who experience problems with updates are not necessarily the ones in all of those companies with PC management/fixing skills built on on site.
Maybe the ones who struggle are not the professional people with the skills.
You rarely hear of many problems coming back from the big users.
