Untrue, just not as many. 😉
PS. Etymologically speaking that should be viruses. 😛
Re: laptop
Being a Mac User and long time windows user before that, and having had my fair share of various laptops, Macs can and do get virus attacks, windows machines get many many more, if you want a premium product that will not overheat, fall part then a Mac Book is the way to go, If you have the funds I would get the Macbook and you can also run windows natively on it or in a virtual environment if you wish.
Re: laptop
Personally I have an acer aspire ,running on windows 7 . I’ve NEVER had a virus (touch wood) and it runs as quick as the day I got it! The parts are pritty cheap too. The wife has dropped and broken the screen twice ( about £80 a time , which I replaced myself) and she spilt a drink over the keyboard £10 . I think I paid around £350 for it about 2/3 years ago so I’m pritty chuffed with it to be honest.
Re: laptop
I’ve just bought a refurb from Argos on ebay.
HP Pavillion g6 750gb hard drive an 2.2 ghz? ram £249 with 12 month guarantee and a carry bag thrown in. Windows 7
Can’t tell it from a new one and so much faster than my old Compaq.
Very happy with the price and performance. Usual price £380laptop
MacBook are best by miles, no probs, no fuss, outstanding battery power, does it all and more besides.
Only downside, very expensive, not the ideal thing to have knocking about in your van or get damaged in some customer sh!t hole house.

I certainly agree Martin that a Mac Book is not ideal for carting around to customers premises, My worry would be that it would get damaged in the places you sight or that other clients would work on the basis your making too much money and charging too much !
For everyday web access, parts look ups, TDS etc etc a 13 or 14 inch laptop like a Acer or Asus would suffice, I use my MacBook Pro and Imacs for other work !
Re: laptop
Try a Panasonic toughbook, never used one myself but there are loads of videos on youtube showing how much punishment it can take.
