Although Apple computers are more expensive than most PC's, they typically last far longer than a PC computer. I used to replace my desktop PC's after 3 or 4 years, but my 2007 iMac desktop is running strong ten years later. My wife junks her work laptop PC's every 2 years, but my MacBook should last me 8-10 years. Many friends have 8+ year old MacBook computers.
The cost up front is higher, but if you take into account how long they last, they are a great value.
Way back when I was into games it was all about the video cards. Today's video cards alone are way more powerful than your 8 year old Mac.
If your needs are few, a simple XP will do.
I'll soon be updating my 5 year old PC simply because I want to get onto Virtual Reality, gogles and all.
