Pay for a windows PC like you would pay for a Mac. Get Razor (expensive but also good looking and high performance), or Lenovo Thinkpad/Ideapad (best price to performance, don't buy any other). Buy at-least 16gigs of ram, min i7 or i9 processor and a good nvidia gpu (1050 or 1060 min). You'll be set for at-least the next five years unless Moore's law on singled threaded performance starts to get on track.

Any processor prior to 2014 is old. And any processor after 2018 that isn't a quad core is also old in my opinion.

My Windows PC is fast and its a breeze to work on. Just don't cheap out on a good device. They're worth it.
