Is Mac better with Steam and games now? Or is this just all the college students buying macs to type papers on in Starbucks?
Edit: pardon me, I didn't realize I stepped into an Apple orgy! I'll see my way out, y'all have fun!
Honestly? Mac laptops are really good right now. The move to ARM based processes has gone... stupidly well. Had you asked me in 2019 if I thought ARM was ready for the main line I would of laughed at you, as would most IT enthusiasts.
But Apple did it, and the battery life savings they've managed are killer. Meanwhile Windows laptops can barely get sleep right.
I just bought a M2 MBP last week and have constantly been comparing it to my aging Intel MBP for work. The speed at login is so much better. And being able to actually run iOS apps natively is pretty neat.
