I usually wanted to upgrade my old PC (GTX970) 2 years ago, ended up buying a cheaper PS5 and a used MacBook for cheaper than the PC upgrade. PC still runs fine, is still in use. Also: the M1 MacBook Air is an emulation beast.

My main steed is an HP ZBook from 2014, and it is a powerful and fast computer.
Still on Sandy Lake/Fermi
I’m running a 2015 MacBook Pro still. I’m not spending $2k+ on a computer again anytime soon.
You could spend ~$1k for similar specs if you don't go Apple.
I grew up in the 90s. I prefer apple I had windows for years, endless problems. Macs just work and last forever. My Mac before 2015 was a 2007.
And no, I’m not installing Linux.
Use what works I guess. I personally don't like macOS (I have to use it at work), and I'm not really a fan of the hardware anyway, but my brother's family likes them, so they definitely have a target audience.
