I've never once worried about virus protection, a slow or under-performing OS, or being outdated. The only issue I've ever had with mine in over decade was a battery that wouldn't keep a charge in my old laptop. I swung it by the Apple Store and conversation went like this:

"I think my battery is fried."
Tech tests it.
"Yes, it's dead."
Tech pulls new battery from shelf.
"Replacements are $60. Do you still have Apple Care?"
"I honestly can't remember if it's expired or not."
Tech hands me new battery.
"We'll pretend it hasn't."

I won't knock PC users, but I promise once you go Mac you never go back.
I never considered that as a option.
I am not settled on anything yet, as i also consider maybe not going laptop at all again. I will look into these macBooks.
