Hey y'all I know there are topics about getting new laptops but I haven't seen anything about Macs. I love macs I love the keyboard, the features, accesibility etc. however I don't like that Macs can't do certain things etc.
My laptop is super old and it's time for an upgrade and I don't know if I should get a new mac or something else? The touch screen laptops are pretty cool but I want something similiar to a mac, any ideas? Macs are so expensive and I could get a way cheaper laptop for not buying an apple product. Ya know?
What do you plan on doing with it? I have an iMac, and a MBP. While my MBP is an '09 model, it held up very well the years that I did use it.
Now I pretty much only use my iMac. I use my iPad for anything mobile and when I'm home I used my iMac.
If you do get a MBP, just view it as an investment. Max out the specs that are most important to you, whether that's RAM / CPU / GPU. That way you don't get the bare minimum which will be eliminated from the market in ~6 months.
If you want to game you can use bootcamp or parallels. I personally use Parallels because my iMac can handle it. But if you want to do a lot of gaming, bootcamp works great and let's you use the full potential of the mac in the windows environment.
If you are using it for class or schoolwork, you can run parallels and run the programs necessary, and you can allocate how much of the specifics you want parallels to be able to use {Memory, GPU, etc.}
For the price you could absolutely get a windows machine for the same price, probably a lot cheaper. You also however seem to like the aesthetics of the device itself, which will probably pay of in visual appreciation over time.
TL;DR : If you like Macs, get it and you can use windows on it.
You can just order the parts and just make it yourself if you're comfortable with doing that ^^
