Which cost almost three times the average salary of most European countries.

I bought mine refurbished for 1300 euros, which is comparable to the price of similarly specced PCs (and about the average salary of most European countries).

Even if it was three times this price, what has that to do with its ability to play games ?

So lets see on my home country, Portugal. where the minimum wage is around 380€ netto.

The cheapest iMac with dedicated GPU costs 1549€.

The cheapest Macbook with dedicated GPU costs 2649€.

A gaming rig that outperforms any Mac hardware can be obtained around 1000€, or even lower if a local OEM is used.

So why pay 1300€ for a refurbished Mac, when a brand new computer can be obtained for much less, given the saving effort one needs to do?

I highly doubt a refurbished (aka several years old) mobile GPU will suffice to play current games.
