It doesn't sound like you need a desktop. I have a Windows desktop (2016, Skylake) and a Macbook Pro (2013? Haswell) and really, it never comes down to what one

It doesn't sound like you need a desktop. I have a Windows desktop (2016, Skylake) and a Macbook Pro (2013? Haswell) and really, it never comes down to what one is faster when I have to choose and when my usage is similar to yours.
If you want the experience of building a PC... well, just know there really isn't much to it. Maybe you'd enjoy playing with a Beaglebone and capes or, similarly, an Arduino and shields. You can get all sorts of fun ones. I got an CAN bus cape I can plug into the OBD II port in my car and talk to it, for example.
