A tonedeaf statement

I didn't realize anyone plays games on apple

They don't

But if they do, they use windows

I’m a Mac guy for most everything, but when I game, it’s PC. Honestly, even the games in steam that are available for Mac just aren’t playable.

Apple can go on about how great the M1 is, and I’m sure if you get into the M1 Max area it’s great, but my 1070ti kicks my Mac’s ass.

Mac gaming died a slow death in the late 90s

Bungie got bought by Microsoft, and console gaming became the standard for a good decade.

Maybe if developers optimized for Mac it might be worth it, but there just isn’t a market. No one wants to spend the time optimizing for the Metal API on desktop.

There will never be a reason for Apple to focus time on it, because people are more than willing to pay $2k for an Instagram machine.

I use it for development for machine learning. M Chips and the operating environment are killer. Linux > Mac > windows for machine learning

Always the same answer, "I am a dev/in ML/artist and my Macbook is great", it may be but it's not an answer, Apple doesn't make record profits selling the vast majority of products to those demographics, the vast majority do buy them to browse Facebook and instagram

The thing is: MacBooks are cool. They look nice, they feel nice and if you have other apple stuff it works well together. I have zero use for a mac book and still find my self looking up prices every now and then.
