Yep.
Yesterday was the first time in many years when I decided to check out how much a good gaming PC would cost me today.
The price for a i7 6700K 4.1GHz, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD and nVidia GTX 1070: €1515 EUR (case and CPU cooler included).
Add a €360 27" Monitor and the total goes to € 1875. Let's round that up to €2000.
A similarly powered iMac (i7, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD and an inferior Radeon R9 M395X) costs exactly: 4.189,00 €
More than double the price! Granted, the iMac monitor is much better, but the price difference gives you 2000 EUR to splash on monitors and still be up 189EUR !
Or maybe splash it on VR helmets and a new bike ?
And that thing gives me all the games plus VR and the pretty powerful Visual Studio IDE for hacking.
