Still worth it?

[u/Sergeant_Ruckus]

Hello all. I'm a comp sci major and per the new school semester, I am required(?) to take an Apple development class, which requires Xcode and thus a Mac. I didn't look into my class requirements ahead of time so I'm unable to do any assignments away from the school's lab. Mac devices are insanely overpriced, but I am willing to invest in a Mini if I am unable to somehow turn my laptop into a hackintosh.

After scrolling through the sub for a bit before posting, I see a great number of people throwing in the towel and buying Mac products. What's the reason behind this? And would it prevent me from using my laptop for my coding?
