I will tell you a secret about buying things. There is no one "Best" choice.

The best way to select a machine is to first define what you want it to do. Look at speed, accuracy, run time costs, availability, and support.

Then compare each product against your needs, NOT against each other. Keep focus.

Once you have a set of candidates that meet your needs, then you look at the price and make your selection.

Understand that as soon as you place your order, a newer "better", and possibly cheaper product will be announced. Ignore the hype.

Buy what you need and use it. Once you have evolved your skills and product needs, then you can look for a "better" product, but until then you need to exploit all of the capability of the one you already own.

I saw so many people waste their time trying to buy the "perfect" PC system. It was a no win game. Ignore it. Define what you need and buy a product that solves your problems.

Otherwise you will just drive yourself crazy.
