To be honest, you can play that game and so much more if you are willing to get a used desktop pc (that someone built) on fb makretplace. Super super good deals on there. In the long term a desktop PC will last you much longer than a laptop. Additionally if you ever want to upgrade parts or fix something broken, you can for cheap/easily. I understand the convenience of a laptop tho, and if that is what you are set on, I would def get a PC not a macbook - since very few games can be played on mac. Happy to rec good laptops depending on your budget 👍

It’s one of the bulkiest things I’ve ever owned, and it doesn’t work properly anymore but the hardware is still good (And expensive). I’ve made the switch to Mac somewhat recently because my needs/uses have changed, and I gave up trying to upkeep my PC and diagnosing OS issues.
I probably will get around to selling parts to some poor uni students who need it more than I do. My excuse is that I haven’t tried setting up a FB account for marketplace, and I forget because the PC sits in a spare room.

refurbished, fast shipping, great products, 30 day returns with no questions asked, solid warrany offerings
loads of options on there for both Mac and PC
if going with Apple, I'd opt for something 2020 or later — all of which can still upgrade to the latest OS (for more specifics about mac upgrade compatibility see here)

10 years is such a feat! I gotta say, Apple still holds value more than most these days. My day job is in tech support, and I've seen lots of Macs and PCs over the years. There was a period from about 2017-2020 where the Mac laptops were just awful - they had the useless touch bar thing, and the low-profile keyboards broke constantly. After that, they did another redesign, and it seems like their stuff is high quality again. As for PCs, maybe there are some higher end ones people like, but I have seen way more issues with build quality and longevity in those (Dells, Lenovos, and Microsoft Surfaces). It seems like on average most PCs last around 5 years, and Macs get a solid 7 (or 10!) They're definitely more expensive, but when you factor in how long they last, it's pretty comparable.
