Why waste the money on a shiny system running a free-operating system turned expensive by a company? Keep in mind all the MacOS is...is a revamped distribution of Linux.
Mac hardware and PC hardware = essentially the same. Its like buying a MB with silver paint instead of black and paying twice as much for it....would you do this with a car? Then why do it with a computer?
My *intervention* is merely a recommendation to apply logic before the purchase.
Dollar for Dollar, you can buy a PC nearly twice as powerful, and with a lot more freedom to make changes to it.
Apple purposely closes off their system, and picks and chooses which things to support. The most annoying thing ever are people who buy a mac, then complain when they can't use their company's remote web workplace and other features. Then what do they end up doing? Dual booting with windows or using a Windows VM. Then why did you buy one in the first place?!
