@goofy1958 This is the quintessential argument made about Mac vs PC. The thing you don't realize is the spend you have to make for all the additional software and utilities you need to bring your PC up to the level of what's provided with a Mac. 

PC-Requires Office software (trials only on most systems sold), Endpoint AV (unless you want to use Defender), Multimedia software (no Movie, Photos, GarageBand, etc), and no integration with your other devices like Continuity Features (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681). By the time you add up all the extra software you have to add for that bargain PC, you end up spending what you would spend on a decent Mac. PC's look cheaper, but you end up spending more.
