But what else should be considered!
I'm 14, average student,
Yes, I have a PC that is not good for DV editing, the mac should be exclusive for the holidays and for the home so you mobile is traveling.
what I want to do with the macbook pro
Editing videos with Final Cut Pro X
Edit photos with Photoshop
Consuming content
share the Mac with my parents (because father's laptop is slow and old)
I would like to buy the macbook now soon because we go on vacation soon and I would like to take the macbook with me on vacation.
Info that could be important: I want to get a Macbook pro FINANCING (0% FINANCING) Since I can't pay everything directly, I would also do some summer jobs as I have already planned to buy a macbook or finance my parents / LANGE / Buy the one and I'll pay the money back
Did you already tell them that you will do these summer jobs?
Admittedly, I do have an MBA but I do not really need it at the moment.
If I need macOS and that with a lot of power, I have assembled a Hackintosh. You do not want to hear that you can find even cheaper devices that can. It really does not have to be an Apple!
Macs are often more durable
high quality design
the OS is very easy to use
just about all the programs you need are preinstalled
very long battery life!
very sharp retina display!
closed OS, low chance of catching viruses, malware and such.
That would be my arguments.
Had I asked my parents at 14, they would have kicked me out. First you get the money (for example through holiday jobs) so that your parents also see that you would like to have it and go for it yourself. But before you have the money together, you also need your own. Do not ask. What you can do is tell your parents that you are now going to work to buy a MacBook Pro. So I do not know any parents who would just say yes. Hope I could help you something.
Thank you for your arguments. No I have not told yet because my dad and mother is working.
So with the 0% financing I would forget, because the others are right with the statement that you will get 14 years no funding / may. Because these financings always require a minimum age of 18 years.
I understand that you would like to have a MacBook as soon as possible. But that's the wrong way.
Think about how you can afford it.
How about if you offer your parents a deal? You work as hard as possible to pay for the device and you become a "sponsor" for your dream.
I think the device will cost about 1500- 2000 euro. For sure you have to do many summer jobs over several years.
Apple is known for the fact that the used devices are still great and almost as fast as a new one. Search the internet for "used macbook". There you will find online shops that offer the devices for about 400-700 euro.
I suspect that your parents are more into a deal. In life you often have to work very hard for your dreams to be able to afford them. And the sooner you start doing it the better. This is how you learn to handle money better and that pays off later. I can guarantee you that.
I hope I could help you get a little closer to your MacBook.
