Crazycrab Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I'll say it from the start, I HATE Apple. Their products are hugely popular with so many dedicated hardcore fans and I've never understood why. Their greedy as hell with way overpriced products that don't even pack some of the most basic necessities in the box like charger's. Even worse they intentionally make it damn near impossible to repair anything forcing you to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars for a replacement so that they can repair yours for pennies then sell it to somebody else. It's disgusting. With that being said I will still give credit where it's due this new line of M1 processers are very impressive, especially for a chip with only 15W TDP. Matching and even beating AMD's and Intel's best laptop chipsets using only a fraction of the power, especially on single core. I'd love to see what these things are capable of when pushed to a full desktop spec 80-100W TDP. If these scores are anything to go by they would absolutely obliterate the i9‑12900k and 5950x with 16 cores. As far as I can tell there is only one drawback to M1.... IT'S IN A MAC BOOK!

skyfire Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Power consumption wise apple has invested a lot over the years. Something the individual companies in PC market can't as they are often assembled multiple brands into one box. Apple has an edge on that part too.

egghead Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 For better gaming experience, you need more RAM as well as better processor and Graphic cards. Mac book pro 16 had 16 GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple is too expensive to wear it out like we do with PC and Console. It's like buying those expensive BMW cars and not driving them to make them antique, even if they can run in race.

Head_Hunter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Even if Apple deem it 100% right for quality gaming, I wouldn't still depend my life on it trying to enjoy games on a smart phone that will feel heavy on my hands, I will relax myself with console gaming, carrying only the controller.

Justin11 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 When I saw the MacBook for the first time I was very much thrilled, but it wouldn't be suitable for me when it comes to gaming, holding it will be a real burden due to its weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes between apple and console, I would pick console too as apple macrbook pro gets too much expensive and so does studio box or the desktop boxes of apple.

My thoughts exactly - I have only ever owned one Mac Book and don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon unless I get it as a gift or something but the M1 and M1X are real powerhouses.

Which makes them still the option for industries like sound, video and other 3D based work etc. because unlike windows they have pretty good apps for those sectors.

Ryzen isn't the top tier anymore, since even newer gen i3's are competing with em 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
