I have no first-hand experience of any Macs. OS X should be pretty good, based as it is on a Un*x-like system. It may also be that the Mac's relative rarity makes it a less worthwhile target for script-kiddies or crackers. _No_ system is perfect, certainly not crack-proof; but it does make sense to avoid those which make little effort security-wise.
