2021 Apple iMac (24-inch, Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB) - Blue At Amazon $1700 — https://tinyurl.com/rvmmzrbb This one gets some negative reviews that are worth reading. That make interesting reading, such as incompatibly with favorite Apple programs. Dead machines too (lol)
Dell FHD 15.6” -— $323 yesterday -—today $342 https://tinyurl.com/3tv2xww5 with 11th Gen i3 and 8gb ram
Favorite line from a radio ad: "sure you could buy a hamburger for a dollar ... but then you'd have to eat it."
Get a M1 MacBook Air for $849.
Last time I bought two refurbished MBAs from Apple, they lasted 8 years with no complaints. At 30¢ & 48¢ per day, totally worth the "high" price.
Absolutely love my Mac mini M1 with 2TB on board SSD + 16gb ram.
I do pro audio on my Mac & running 150 track projects with a ton of plugins & the CPU usage hasn’t gone above 50% yet. Not heard the fan come on yet!!!
I expect to use this machine for the next 10 to 15 years minimum.
