Indeed, I am playing on a Mac. I do everything on here from playing Steam Games, Guns of Icarus, Recording, Video Editing, Minecraft (of course), and everything else a high school student has to do. I've had it nearly a year and spent $3.7k on it. Holding up really well. :)
Same. My dad got this computer for his work, so it is REALLY nice. It is around 2-2.5k. I have had it over 1 1/2 years. Very good computers :)

Maybe your parents have been on pornography sites? Ads typically only show similar searches or websites you've visited before.

Firefox is the best browser, it doesn't track or store data about you the same way chrome and other browsers do. Privacy = important.
That is not necessarily true: Google Chrome does allow more advertisers to see your activity, but you can easily disable it completely by checking off "Do not Track". You don't even need to be in incognito. Also, GC requires login sites to have 128bit SSL Socket Encryption or it warns you with a big red page asking you if you want to proceed. That way websites (or my school) cannot track your passwords. :) (Unless they stand behind you while you type it in and watch the keyboard)

You can turn tracking off which prevents everyone apart from Google tracking you, Google still tracks you even when you switch it off where as Mozilla never tracks you. As Mozilla is a non profit organization it aims to keep user privacy; Google on the other hand wants to store your data.

You are on windows, right? If yes, are those "Windows" actual windows which look like legit windows-windows?
