Cheap = cheap.
Macs are extremely powerful and fast, I don't know which one you have.....

PCs are nice because you can build 'em up however you want to. As with bikes, this has never turned out to be cheap for me. I always want it to work well, and end up buying nicer components which are not cheap. I have built several PCs. I am now of the opinion that if you buy the right mac for your needs, it will be right about the same price as a comparable (speed, RAM, storage, etc) PC. Unless you are using it primarily for gaming. And it will last a lot longer with A LOT less headache.

Macs are better for people who just want to use a computer and not have to deal with maintenance on it. In my experience, they just work as they are supposed to, and keep working for a long time. No crashing or freezing. Great machines.

I guess I wandered a little off topic.....

I still think if you (OP) are determined to spend, and not save it, you should take some of your cash and try out some kind of cycling that you haven't tried before. Mountain biking is fun as hell too.
