The key points to consider are

What software or apps you currently use.

What tasks you perform on the machine on a daily, weekly and yearly basis

As an example a

Home user does a bit of email and internet surfing

A designer might need to use several programs with one of them being Sketch then it is Mac only.  Generally speaking creative people tend to use Apple Mac however there are a lot of home users now moving into Apple Ethos as they have the phone, Tablet and desktop. 

Some people vote for Linus based OS and apps.  This I think comes with the caveat that they need to be willing to learn a bit more about the OS and Apps and also be flexible to taking different approaches to issues.

Other points to consider are can you do all your needs online?  If so then, the world is your Lobster.  The caveat here is speed of connection and the reliability. 

My personal choice is to use an Apple Mac desktop and an Android based Smart Phone. 

Hello Sergio:

I do have an old (2007) 21.5 inch MAC which uses a Intel Core i5 CPU which I like to use from time to time.

However I have never tried to add Google Chrome browser to my MAC. 

I use Chrome on my Windows based system because it has a feature that I use all the time -

it will allows one to print to a pdf file and store to one's hard drive, instead of just sending the file to a regular hardware printer.

Have you ever tried to port Google Chrome Browser to your MAC?

Regard wireless phone selection- I don't use a smart phone(s). only regular wireless flip phone - as one gets older ones fingers seem to get bigger and trying to punch in numbers (like 20 digits needed on prescription drugs reorder(s) without making mistakes is nearly impossible on smart phones.

Hello Sergio:

I came across a problem with using a wireless phone vs a smartphone about a month ago, which I have never seen highlighted anywhere.

The wireless flip phone has a "phone keyboard" where ,for example ABC is represented by numeric 2 or DEF is represented by numeric 3 etc.

The smartphone has one screen keyboard showing alphas and one screen keyboard showing numbers etc-it replicates a computer keyboard.

Many financial operations are now requiring a secondary security code via one's phone (verbal) that gives one a security factor that is combination of alphanumeric information,  that can not be punched in using the phone keyboard.
