Are Apple Laptops The most advanced, and most used computers?

Are they used by almost every game designer, computer expert and such, and would they beat a decent $2000 Toshiba or Asus laptop?
Would they beat toshiba at gaming?

Is there a place that will take or buy my 2 older used computers?

I have 2 computers that I want to get rid of. One works. I had to reload windows xp. does that mean all my info that I had before is erased? Should I be concerned about that?

How is math used in computers?

I was wanting to know how is math used in computers that we use everyday. If someone could explain, I would appreciate it. I know that every letter or number that we hit, the computer uses numbers for each and every number and letter to put up the right one. I don’t know other ways math is used in computers.
