Need help: should I cop a MacBook, IMac, iPad, or a dell. I got a $1250 budget

[Rollo Goodlove]

I wanna get the most out of my money

im going to be using it for storage, homework, documents, Adobe, and film editing


And can run a ps2 or GameCube emulator

1250 is not getting you a macbook. You might as well get a dell. You can get an Imac but you won't have anything left over.

I can add
Why does the MacBook cost more than the freakin iMac

because you're basically paying for the portability of a macbook. If you're on the go a lot, I would just double up on the 1250 and buy a macbook. I have an imac and a macbook pro. I use my macbook pro a lot more because it's just easier to show clients what you're working on, esp. if you meet up somewhere.

Dell XPS 15. I have the XPS 13 and it's a great laptop. I put Linux on it personally and it flies.

I like Macs but they are out if your price range for a decent one

XPS 13 is reviewed very well pretty much everywhere and should fit within your budget

I've been strictly mac since the early 2000's. They hardly if ever get any malware or viruses and I've downloaded all kinds if nonsense. Now iphones on the other hand......

@JahBuhLun
I can put up more bread

Should I get an older model?


Which is the oldest MacBook with the power to run a ps2 emulator well?

There's ZERO reason a laptop should cost more than $400 in today's day and age.

You paying a G for the name if you go Apple for what you need it for...

Put up the bread for the MacBook Pro with touch bar if you can. Especially if you do heavy video editing. I use an Air every day as my assigned work laptop and am about to cop the MacBook Pro for personal use when I go back for my MBA.

Anything else is uncivilized.

Before getting the Macbook Air this summer, my last MacBook Pro was from 09'. There's no other laptop on the market that's going to last you 7+ years. If you try to max out the specs as much as possible, you'll have a laptop that'll last you almost a decade.
