Will use this to build a desktop PC for Browsing, Microsoft Office, some Python coding, some home video editing, but build so the performance stays relevant for the next 5+ years. My current desktop was built 10 years back, using the then top of the line components; only upgrades over the year was GPU card and added more memory and changed the SSD. I can feel it is getting slower now because existing applications demand more powerful components.

Mac is better. Especially when now the electricity cost so much.

According to myself , I have both.
I still have my e-machine, and contrary to what people might say, my e-machine will blow the doors off your Mac.
