I recently built a custom uber-PC for music and machine learning.
10 cores, 64GB of fast RAM, 2TB superfast SSD, a 1080Ti graphics card, and it still costs less than a trashcan Mac with a much lower spec.
I hate Windows with a passion. Given the choice I would rather stay with macOS. And I would rather just buy something than stress about whether I'm wearing enough static protection bracelets not to nuke a £1500 processor.
But when the product I need literally doesn't exist - and apparently won't exist for at least another 12 to 18 months - it was a forced decision.
