I'm not sure if Best Buy offers a prorated refund option if you want to cancel the membership entirely before the 1-year is up. My guess would be no, since many people only subscribe to take advantage of deals like this...they don't want people jumping in for a free $500 coupon just to immediately leave and get a refund on their membership.
I used to use mainly Macs (and Linux), then to save money up front I switched to Windows (and Linux). After some time with Windows, I calculated that I spent about the same money either way with laptops running Windows or Macs once I factored in resale values and other costs over time. Because of that, I went back to Macs for laptops (in my experience, the Mac laptops I've owned have cost me less over time than Windows ones). I do not generally buy these highest end Macs though. They are much more power than I need for a personal device.
My desktop runs Windows because I like to upgrade it over time and use it for some gaming.

What the hell, we can buy a $500 Macbook on many outlets to get the "Mac" experience.. what's the point of this? Can someone give me a real response? I ask again, are you professional video editors for movie studios, or some chump change youtube channel? Roll out, let's hear?
What do you use lightroom and photoshop for? For your own family photos.. or? I'm genuinely curious. I asked others about this. Do you need a $3k box for that? Definitely not. If you can tell me otherwise, i'll believe. Cheers
I got one mostly cause I wanted a 16" promotion with a HDMI already built in. Starting price for a Mac like this is $2500 but you also only getting 18gb/512gb which in my case isn't gonna cut it and I refuse to hamper myself with low storage like I have in the past.
I do use a software for 3D modeling which would be the only thing that might even push this even the slightest. Plan on keeping this for 10 years min just like I did with my last MacBook Pro.
I didn't take your money to pay for it and no I don't need your suggestion of getting some PC or how an Air would accomplish running the software while being cheaper. And most people don't care.
Now continue on asking everyone why they bought an iPhone pro if they are only using instagram when they could have gotten an SE.

If you need extra storage the sdcard adapters that sit flush in the slot on the MacBook Pros are a good option. Something like this:

Or this: https://a.co/d/9wNa4B0
But even as a professional I would get a MacBook Air for my personal (web browsing) machine and a windows PC for gaming. Exactly like you said. You are right it doesn't make sense for most people. No one is trying to convince you otherwise.
