I am a mac user and I don't intend to spend about $1500 for a windows machine that I would use only for VR. I don't mind spending $1000 on an oculus which can work with a regular macbook pro.

You might be happy to hear that the $1500 machine recommendation is outdated.

You can view the current recommendation here [1] and it basically boil down to: RX480/GTX1060 plus i5 -- very much below $1000 at this point.
