He is using M3 Max which is way more expensive even if considered Buying A base m1 air 2020 model all application will run for more than basic task even 4k editing and can buy a budget gaming laptop which can run all the games shown in the video with more fps and still spare some cash ... M3 Max is a beast if you have only this laptop then yes with future updates it seems promising and windows transitioned to ARM as well we see very More titles supporting
People, please, don't buy mac's for gaming. It's terrible idea now and in closest future. Do game works? Yes. Some native titles playable like BG3, CK3, Rimworld, EVE Online, WoW and etc. But even in them you can experience performance issues and graphic artifacts. Do windows games works? Some. Via crossover or other tools. But you might experience even more performance issues and graphic artifacts. And even more for some games there are presets with extra software to run the game in crossover, but for lot of games you need to install extra software by yourself which is not clear what exact software you even need to just run some game, and no one know. Do external devices works? And again the answer is SOME. Some controllers works with native games. Less controllers works via steam. Some controllers works via crossover. But for most external devices you can't install and run configurational software, or this software might not see your devices. For example steering wheels especially force feedback feature. So just buy PC where works all of it, and not some.
No it cannot. Unless you have other ways to game like consoles and don't need your entire PC library and are okay with all the comprises that come with it, then yeah, it can replace your gaming PC. If you're actually serious about PC gaming, then realistically, the answer is no, like you said. That's not what Macs are made for or advertised for. Just how far back does this conversation go, 20+ years? It's an old, tired conversation and PC will always be the better choice for gaming specifically, that's just the way it is.
I do agree with you do a degree, but progress is being made and we’ve come a loooong way. This video was already 20min and I didn’t even show 1/5th of the games that I tested Also what do you mean by being “serious about PC gaming” Is there a certain game/games you have to play to be a serious gamer? I know PC is better, I’m a PC gamer; but things are the way they are until they aren’t. Like how the Steam Deck compatibility list grew anything is possible if the right people take notice/action. Maybe it can’t replace my PC yet (or ever, who knows), BUT I can play Cyberpunk and that wasn’t even possible on consoles when it first released 😅🤷🏽♂️ I’m having fun
@@BarelyAverageDude By 'serious' I mean like that is your number one priority when buying a computer. If that's the case then yeah no Mac is obviously not the best choice. Considering how long Macs have not been that great for gaming, I personally don't think it will ever be a true competitor in that space, but who knows. If you're having fun, more power to ya, we're all tech nerds here at the end of the day 🤓
@@OCDGeek128 yeah I agree no one should buy a Mac if there goal is to game. Only time will tell, but I’m excited for what’s already possible and what the future may bring. I’m pretty non bias when it comes to tech; I use what works for me. I have an iPhone and a Galaxy, I have an iPad and a Tab s+, I have a gaming PC and a Mac for video editing. I don’t really care who makes something as long as it does what I need it do to. The Mac is not the right tool for gaming; it’s like cutting a tree down with a knife. It’s technically possible, but a waste of effort unless it’s life or death.
@@BarelyAverageDude Well put, yeah I agree! I'm also kind of the same myself, I like to use a little bit of everything. My main machine is a gaming PC I built, I use an iPad 10 and mini mostly around the house, and use a Google Pixel 8 Pro for my phone. So I'm using a little bit of the big three when it comes to OS's, Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Oh and I got a Switch Oled and Steam Deck Oled also. I like the variety and don't want to limit myself to one company. Anyways take care man, I don't want to drag this conversation on too long and bother you with notifications. Keep up the good work, I'm a subscriber!
