depends what you want to do with it, if you really like the different os and are only planning to do some web browsing, listen to music, and maybe some word processing it'll work fine. It's definately not going to be very good for games that is one thing you can be sure of. In addition if you go with a windows based pc you could probably get something with comparable specs for cheaper. It all depends if you like Mac or not, because you'll be spending a little bit of extra money just because it's a mac. If i were you i'd look up some laptops with comparable specifications on dell's website and see how you like those, i've personally had 2 dell laptops both of which i was very pleased with.

Just depends on what you will be using it for, although you could dual boot it and install games they would struggle big stlye with shared graphics.

If not games then yeh looks good, but defiantely order from apple
