I wouldn’t do PC if you paid me. I’ve used Apple computers for over 30+ years, and have always gotten my money’s worth. All I’ve ever seen here on FR for the past almost 29 years that I’ve been here, is PC users posting threads, asking for help with some problem or with their computers. You get what you pay for.
“You get what you pay for.”
Not in your case. You over paid because you hate Windows. I use Linux Mint too. You could buy a new 300$ 15.6” display laptop with crap 8gb ram, slap Mint on it and do all the internet surfing you like. End. You do you.
Because everyone, to a first order approximation, owns a Windows PC. It has *nothing* to do with an inherent problem with PCs or PC users, just that there are 100 PC users for every Mac us3r. Get a clue.
