Apple computers have their good points (a nice OS for instance) but in general, they are way overpriced. Typically, you can buy or build a PC with equivalent or better technical specs for far less money. In addition, I have found that many Macs have terrible thermals. MacBook Pros may have nice aesthetics but they are impractical or impossible to upgrade and if you do anything that taxes the GPU you'll find the CPU throttling in many cases because of the generated heat. It's absurd.
