I also discovered that these are pretty cheap and really upgradeable while looking great.
I would never buy anything from Apple new, but old Mac Pro or MacBook Pro are really tempting.
Converted my fiancée ´s 2012 MacBook Pro to Linux two years ago and it’s a great machine which shouldn’t be collecting dust.
Sometimes people underestimate the treasures they have lying around 😅
Even with just 8gb of Ram you can have a windows 10 vm to do the only few things you can’t on Linux. It’s gonna be really slow but if you need it once a year it’s fine.
