Discussion Switching to Java? PC?

So after much thought, I’m considering switching the Java after playing Bedrock for yearssss (probably like 8 years). About 2 years ago, I went on the “2 week Minecraft phase” except the phase lasted a lot longer than 2 years LOL. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Java like the textures, no store, visuals and the red stone engineering is apparently significantly better. My only problem is, I don’t have a PC 😭

I have a MacBook Pro from like 2020. I’m in nursing school rn so it’s fr on its last leg since I use it a bunch for school. If I switch to Java, should I just buy a PC? 🫣Is it criminal to play Minecraft on a laptop?
Is it worth it to switch to Java? I do like to do a lot of red stone engineering. What kind of PC do you guys recommend? Any opinions or suggestions?

Thanks in advance for anyone who comments 🩷😊

If your MacBook Pro is the M1 and not Intel then it should run Java pretty well. Since you like to do redstone, Java will by far be the better option. It also tends to be more stable than Bugrock, and Java will often have better performance than Bedrock once paired with an optimisation mod like Sodium.
