If you’ve ever played this game, you know how glitchy a lower-end GPU can get when you’ve got enormous armies clashing on a battlefield. Rome Total War (remastered) plays at native resolution without a glitch. This machine simultaneously handles graphics as well as a Windows laptop with around an RTX 3050 Ti inside. The fans may turn on now and again, but I’ve virtually never heard them.Īll that holds true in actual gameplay, too. That M1 Pro chip inside simply hums through whatever I throw at it, with its 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU - all backed up with a 16-core neural engine. It handles graphics wellĭespite being a laptop released in late 2021, this little MacBook Pro remains a powerhouse performer. 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.

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.
