    I've said it before on DN, consider the hackintosh route if you're comfortable putting together a new machine. Some people like the assurance they get knowing Apple will fix their problems when they arise, for those who don't need that you're breaking the bank for no reason.

    Just follow one of these guides (exactly) and you should be laughing: https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/march/2017

    People say its not reliable, and maybe I got lucky with my build but I have yet to experience a single issue with my machine. It runs flawlessly, dual boots into Win or MacOs, is incredibly fast and saved me a ton of money when I was faced with a new Mac purchase. There's some tech know-how required to get it running but if you are relatively competent you should be fine.

    That being said, don't be worried about learning how to use a Mac. It's the simplest thing in the world to do and really is a great environment to be work in.
