#CITIES SKYLINES FOR MAC M1 PRO#
The M1 Pro (or M1 Max if I’d gone for the upgrade) is what makes gaming possible on this little laptop in a way that no MacBooks were capable of in the past. So yeah, I love my Mac.īut none of that would make it the “perfect gaming laptop” if it couldn’t hold up from a performance perspective.
Unix-like systems are right up my alley.Īll of that makes the 14-inch MacBook Pro my go-to laptop, and therefore, the device I’ve been gaming on more than any other. I even enjoy MacOS itself as someone with a Linux background. The webcam is big step up from your average gaming laptop too. They have perfect balance between the bass and treble - and wow, can they ever get loud. That means superior HDR performance in games that can support it, especially compared to the vast majority of gaming laptops that still use IPS LED panels.Īnd there are a ton of other little things too. The 2,500 local dimming zones you get on this mini-LED panel are twice the amount on even the latest mini-LED gaming laptops. Conventional gaming laptops are continuing to advance in this regard, but the MacBook Pro still stands above the rest with its Liquid Retina XDR display. Then there’s the screen, which is another essential element of a gaming laptop. That’s just not something I’d be able to get away with on a traditional gaming laptop. I don’t have to lug a different system around with me, and that means I have better (and more convenient) access to my favorite games, regardless of where I am. Unlike my desktop, my MacBook Pro is with me constantly. As the saying goes, the best camera is the one that’s with you. Convenience, for example, has become an extremely key factor. But it’s not the only thing that matters. Performance is obviously super important when it comes to discussing gaming laptops - and I’ll get to that later.
Mark Coppock/Digital Trends It’s about more than just performance And that’s where my MacBook Pro steps in. But as I game less and less at home because of my family, my desktop barely gets used anymore. I’m loyal to my Windows desktop gaming PC with its 12th-gen Intel i7 and a power-hungry RTX 2080 Ti GPU - and I always will be.
