Okay, so I got $2500 to either build a pc or cop this space gray MBP 15"

Get a mac if you plan on being serious about making/recording music or shooting video.
Otherwise there's no logical reason to get a Mac, and even still this would be based on preference.
Unless you have mac specific programs you NEED to use, go with Windows.

If your buying a PC to impress chicks, you're clearly a loser. Go ahead and confirm this status by buying the Mac.

Sadly, you'll still likely not get chicks, despite your new mac....

It's probably better for you to build a gaming PC so you can commiserate with the typical PC gaming loser crowd. You'll likely have alot of free time, since you're not going on dates..

Either way you're fukked as i see it...

Good day.

Says the a$$hole who stays on here promoting XBox and Microsoft. Somebody should have pushed your mother down some stairs when she was pregnant with your ass, you ultra effeminate fukk nikka. Now go be a good militant and leave us be.

If you don't want a Mac for anything more than aesthetics, take a look at the certified refurbished MBPs and you can usually save a grip on a current machine.

You will probably be able to scrape by and be able to get your MBP and build a decent machine if you use sites like Slickdeals and PCPartPicker and a little bit of patience.

If you're an experienced builder and are willing to branch out into the used part market (like Reddit's hardwareswap and hardforum) you'll even have change. There are some dudes who literally change computer parts like underwear and get rid of good parts for cheap.

Breh I'm

No way in the world I'm spending $2500 on a single laptop even if it's a MBP.

You could build a beastly PC @ $1300 and cop something refurb or non apple that could be used for browsing the web.

If the MBP is going to be your workhorse then so be it but I couldn't do that solely for a vanity or non utility item.

Do you work in an industry where a Mac is required?

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

I would just get a used 13" macbook pro retina 2013-2016 that has all the ports and shyt for like $800-1000 AND build a beast gaming PC. Best of both worlds But if it were me I dont care bout gaming on a PC, so i'd cop a new 13" MBP for $1600 and keep gaming on the ps4

If you really want the Macbook then you've answered your own question

Build a good PC and do something smart with the change.

Or be a sheep and give Apple way too much money to fit in.
