Do you really want an Apple Computer.
Having used both PC’s and Apples extensively, I find PC’s usage cumbersome when compared to my iMacs, and I have never had a problem with a Mac.
My advice: buy a Mac and don’t look back. They cost more, but they are worth every penny.
I've gone back and forth more than a couple of times, however, now that I'm retired and don't need a PC to run work related programs, I have settled in with Mac's. Of course my OCD personality took over and I have a new iMac 27 i9 to go with my 6-Core 2013 6,1 Trashcan Mac Pro and highly upgraded 12-Core 2010 5,1 Cheesegrater Mac Pro.
I used to work for a retail store called CompUSA and we sold Macs and PC's. I wasn't Mac proficient in Macs so I mostly sold and grew my knowledge on the PC side of things. But my curiosity got me and I wandered over to the Mac side of the store to see what they are all about. Back then a lot of customers were wanting Window software so a lot of Macs boasted about being Windows compatible with a special conversion app that booted Windows up and ran all of the Windows software. Wow! But it was slower than molasse in the winter time and crashed often. It was a bust. They boasted about the RISK processor that was faster than an Intel or AMD processor because it supposedly had a less complicated way of processing. Maybe; but they weren't convincing me that they were better than others just because they deal with code differently. I still got their blue screen of death just about any time I wanted to stress out the computer with quick launching of applications and using keyboard combinations for quick things. And most of those differed greatly from a PC so it took a lot to remember them. Getting peripherals to work aren't as easy as they say either. A friend of mine has a new Canon Pro-100 printer that I've never been able to get working on her Mac. I've tried for hours on two separate occasions. I told her to call Canon and they would help. She has been too busy to call but said she'd try after the new year. Oh, she has had that printer for about 2 or more years now and not a single print has come off that printer.. not even a test print. So much for ease of use for Macs.
iPhone 6 and 6+ battery issue....Apple made sure they make the SIM card unable too.....right know I use iPhone 7+ with 256 GB after more than 2years battery don’t last that good anymore and phone connection isn’t that stable any more.....

That guy, Louis Rossmann has a vendetta against Apple Computer, and many of these guys that do youtube videos earn money for the videos. With 1.06 million subscribers he’s making money on these videos. Ask people who use Apple Computers for photo/video editing. I have both Apple and Hewlett Packard, and Dell computers and I prefer working on the Apples.
I made a huge mistake switching to Apple once. Junked it and went back to PC's that I can build to my OWN needs and no problems with upgrades either. And a custom PC costs about 1/3 of a stock Apple and it performs much better too.

“A friend of mine has a new Canon Pro-100 printer that I've never been able to get working on her Mac.“ I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100, 2 Epson Workforce printer scanners, a Epson Perfection V600 Scanner, and a Focusrite Pro audio interface all connected to my mid 2015 MacBook pro, and previous to that was connected to my early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro. The printers and scanners are also connected to the Hewlett Packard and Dell Computers, as well as 4 Apple iPads. No problems.
I don't like either one so I built my own. I went to a computer parts site and picked and choose exactly what I wanted. That was a couple of years ago and this things still is smokin' fast is virus free and boots up in less than twenty seconds. Still don't like Mac or PC
I use both. They both work for what you want. I like Mac for the home and for photo processing. My PC, a slightly better computer if looking just at specs, would gather dust if I didn’t use it for business.
Some say Mac is more expensive, but you are buying an operating system as well as hardware. There is no comparison between IOS and Windows. The better Operating platform is really what allows Apple to charge more and gets knowledgeable people to buy its products in droves. If I can do it on my MacBook Pro, I do it on the Mac, period.

That may be so BUT you are obviously an Apple fanboy because you totally decided to ignore what Louis was commenting about. If you actually listened and watched what he says then you wouldn't touch Apple again with a barge pole. In fact you would probably be signing up for a class action against Apple.
Oh and maybe you have been influenced by the number of videos where somebody is using a laptop and note that it is an Apple with the logo conveniently lit up and facing the camera ? This is total BS and is only like this because Apple has one of the most expensive product placement departments of any company.
You have to give it to Apple, as they have the best marketing department in history and know consumers.
Apple understands that a portion of the population is more susceptible than others and with the right message, will happily hand over significantly more money for basically the same product.
For instance, part of the message is better security. If that was the case, then why do we see apple products release security patches constantly? It's because they experienced an attack and had to fix it. They simply don't broadcast to the public. Also, since major businesses don't use their product, when the attacks happen, it doesn't make headlines.
