I felt Apple remove the DVD/Blu-Ray disc drives from its all-in-one and laptops too early. Back in the past, many people's internet connection and wifi was too slow for downloading and streaming movies, and USB flash drives were more expensive, and many people only own USB flash drives which are 1 to 4 GB in size.

I think 2TB hard drive on Apple laptop and All-in-one iMacs did not exist when Apple remove the disc drive from their computers, so most Apple computers can't store many HD Blu-Ray 1080P resolution quality movies and TV series which can take up a lot of space, so a Windows PC with a DVD/Blu-Ray drive would be better for watching many HD movies, or accessing large files like software installers stored on a disc.

There is a very expensive Apple Mac Pro which is fast enough for graphic editing. But, a Windows Gaming PC would be more affordable for graphics.

I've seen those, they cost a lot of money, more than a custom PC made for gaming.

The old Black Can-shaped Mac Pro seem to be difficult to repair.
