I just purchased a Amd 8845HS for about 750$ and I can run most games at mid spec. Tossed in a 4TB SSD and I'm very happy with my purchase. I have Mint install

I just purchased a Amd 8845HS for about 750$ and I can run most games at mid spec. Tossed in a 4TB SSD and I'm very happy with my purchase. I have Mint installed along with Windows. Price out a 4TB Mac, you'll be spending an unholy amount of money. Plus in a few years when the 8TB SSDs are cheaper it's an easy upgrade.
