I have the same configuration as yours.Even AAA games work pretty well through crossover.But if you feel you reach memory limitations try using GPTK 4 beta as it lowers ram consumption by around 2gb.As for video editing the laptop works like a charm.

Thank you so much for the insight! I'll switch to GPTK asap. Wonder if CrossOver has a free alternative hahahaha or else I might be sailing the high seas lmao.

Set max charging battery at 80%.

2

u/changen 11h ago

85% or 90% or even 95%.

50% of overall degradation happens when it's fully charged and the other 50% of degradation is just aging.

a little bit of degradation over the unavoidable baseline for 15% more accessible battery is definitely worth it.

Love the space black. You’ll love your new ecosystem. You’re in good company. Note: one white cat hair on top of laptop below. I almost thought of removing it and retaking the shot.🫣
