I’m very conflicted about this new machine. I buy a maxed out mac each time because it’s my primary machine and I want it to do anything I throw at it even if I mostly don’t use all its power. And I do game on my computer; I currently have a 2019 intel and I just pop over to windows when I want to play something that doesn’t work on macOS.

I’m hoping that crossover and VMware/parallels will be enough for now until windows for arm comes out but I’m also wondering if I should just cancel the order and get a gaming pc. I just hate gaming pcs though—I don’t want my computer to look like a Christmas tree. I wish someone made a computer physically like the MacBook Pro but with gaming specs inside.

My computer doesn’t come till the end of the month and we’re in the holiday return period. I’ll play with it and decide if I want to return it or not.

I just use GeForce Now ($20/mo) on MacOS and I don’t need to keep up with a gaming PC.

Have you found GeForce now to be the best game streaming service?

I haven't really tried any others but it works great on MacOS. Also I have a PS5 and remote play on MacOS also works great (in fact better than Windows since your controller can be wireless).
