I will never understand why anyone would wanna do gaming on a Mac.

Speaking for myself, I love Windows and I ain't planning on moving off of Android, but the M1/M2/M3 Macbooks are setting a higher sexier bar, with a battery life nowhere to be found in the Windows ecosystem and also very light, which is always nice.

I'm getting a new laptop next year and I'm open to learning MacOS, but I also want to be able to play Rocket League with most settings on High and no bugs. I always keep an eye on /r/macgaming for that. If that's not possible then I'm getting a Zephyrus and wait for another 3-5 years to check again

I'm also very tempted by the ARM based Macbooks but

  1. MacOS is still neglected platform for gaming
  2. Windows actually gives me a curated Ubuntu to run under Windows Subsystem for Linux and WSL integrates beautifully with Windows. Brew is nice an all but it is amateur time compared to a proper linux distro
