She wants to get a Mac but I'm like fuck no don't do that. She'd only use it for streaming and schoolwork and such. I'm trying to convince her to get a Chromebook. She's worried about viruses and stuff, that's why she wants a Mac.

Your girlfriend is right to want a Mac. A Chromebook accrues so much bullshit in three months that regular antivirus cant get rid of. So it becomes a huge source of anger and resentment. Get the Mac. Yeah, theyre overpriced, but Ill happily pay it to save the headache of using PCs.

But she's broke as shit and a mac is so goddamn expensive.

I thought Chromebooks were supposed to be very good when it comes to virus protection. Guess I was wrong

Maybe Chromebooks are different, but Ive owned three separate Netbooks and they became worthless after just a few months.

Im speaking from my experience with any netbook, brands varying. TCs girlfriend hasnt been made out to be a tech savvy individual so Im sure she would have frequent issues with a PC of any kind. Consider the buyer before flexing any PC favoritism.
