Buy a PC. Either go with Windows or use Ubuntu as your operating system.

 

i would fork out and buy a mac well worth it.
very easy to use and never brake, ive had mines for 3 years now and i can say its never broken or even crashed.

And if your looking to play games on it, there is now a huge selection avaliable, and
if you wish you can instal windows on it, for those tasks that just need to be dont on windows
