is the M1 pro chip good for gaming?

Yes, but no. They’re tied to Macs and macOS is not a good gaming operating system. You will regret your purchase if you get a Mac for gaming.

Yeahhh I learned real quick that gaming on a Mac was a pain in the ass.

• Constant bugs
• Mac versions having issues (League of Legends)
• Lack of optimization
• Not enough support for most of the older games (32 bit being cut off after Catalina)

Its really not worth it. If you are using for business/creative purposes, you can light game on it. Overall, just stick with a gaming laptop or PC.

ive owned HPs forever. So i just want a different laptop. Dell/Lenovo are over priced like a mf.

if u wanna get the best bang for your buck apple wise, get a refurbished M1 mac mini for like $600 or a refurbished M1 macbook air for like $850. both are still great computers at fair prices thru the apple refurbished website.

Macs are trash for gaming. You could get away with a few emulators but on newer shyt not worth it.

Dell/Lenovos are overpriced, but you want a Mac?
