I need help with my computer

Hi everyone!
I’m a new classmate of this wonderful platform and I need a new pc to start with unity 3D.

I’m going to do a project about developing of digital scenaries and then I will study something about developing of videogames or animation 3D.

I really like Mac OS but I don’t have enough money to buy a superior iMac, I only could buy the model of 2017:
7th Generation 2.3 GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz
8 GB to 2,133 MHz memory, expandable up to 16 GB
1 TB hard drive Disco
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 graphics card
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports
1,920 by 1,080 pixel sRGB display

I don’t know if this is enough for me…
Could you help me, please? windows is better?

I don’t know if this post is correct in this part of forum, sorry for that…

Thank you so much!

If budget is an issue you will get more/better hardware for your dollar with a Windows PC.

Aside from that, it really just comes down to preference. Have you used a Mac? Have you used Windows? I use both regularly and they’re both fine.

I have used Mac since 11 last years and windows in university, I have doubts with the graphics card, maybe it’s not enough with that model of 2017

It really depends on what kind of games you are going to make. Are they going to be high fidelity, intensive graphics games, or just simple 2d games? I use a Macbook Pro half the time for Unity with Intel Iris graphics and I’m able to run simple 3d games no problem.

The project is about sceneries in 3D in general, but I believe that If I study developing videogames or animation 3D I won’t start with intensive graphics, but I don’t know what will happen in (maybe) 3 years, so I would like a computer for a long time.
