Meanwhile I can get a decent tower that costs about the base price of a Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM, a decent SSD, and so on, can play GTA5 and the new Tomb Raider (a buddy of mine built a rig for like under $400 and benchmarked with those games and was surprised).


Yeah, the HP Envy 13 I use has a sharper display, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM, and twice as many cores for $100 cheaper than the 2019 MacBook Air.

It got crushed by an airline seat reclining but other than some slight warping it's fine, so the build quality is actually pretty decent on it.

The only things worse about the Envy are the tiny trackpad and the lack of OS X, but I prefer Ubuntu to OS X these days anyways.
