I Bought A Budget Macbook For Gaming..

should you buy a MacBook for gaming? Whoever guesses the number in my head (between 1-100) gets a ❤ lol

Your first mistake is buying a MacBook between 2016-2019 (crappy port selection, Touch Bar in the place of function keys, butterfly keyboard)

Comparing a 2022 windows laptop to a 2019 MacBook, Yes this is content nowadays 😂

Should've got an m-series one... Not an intel core one.

you cant compare a 300 pund laptop from 5 years ago to a expensive laptop from around 2023 id presume EDIT: i have a mac for around the price of that windows laptop i get 2k fps with badlion

Why is this old SECOND HAND MacBook better than my current laptop? But considering that my laptop is 7 years old (I use this to play MC), its expected.

Ye, take an old mac and then compare it, seems super fair !!

as a permanent macbook gamer (minecraft java), i love the macbook performace. especially because minecraft is mainly cpu-dependent i get 500+ fps on lunar client 1.8.9 and 700+ fps on badlion client 1.8.9 launched with optifine (2 years old laptop and it rocks)!!!

whenever i see a mac book it looks so smooth and nice but so complicated. amazing dude

I remember when you had like 30K subs congrats on 325K

6:56 rtx 5090 lol

This videos just keep getting better

MacBook is just not for the gaming community and its really just a good work laptop that can last you 8-9 years (and not lag!)

Being an old MacBook player myself, I can give out a few more details. First of all, the problem with the macbook is the overheating. I remember my hand getting burned regularly after about 20 minutes of playing, and at one point, after letting my computer run for a whole entire night just to ask in a creeper farm, some weird juice came out of the computer while i was sleeping, as if something was melting from the inside. The second problem is the fact that it’s old. My macbook was almost as old as yours, BUT mine definitely has more playtime. I remember, when i started playing minecraft, i would get around 150 fps, and at the end of using this macbook i was getting maximum 30. So my macbook’s performance was gradually becoming worse, and SO MUCH FASTER than other windows laptops. And lastly, the fact that on a macbook you CANNOT run ANYTHING except your game. My macbook would crash entirely just because i had Minecraft and Discord opened, and don’t get me started on playing while watching a youtube video. For example, listening to music while gaming would make my computer stutter SO MUCH, it seems it was about to fly off. Anyways, good video. (don’t buy a macbook)

Bro u compared a workspace laptop using 5 year old tech to a 2022 mid-range gaming laptop... not completely fair 🤣 Tbh tho, the M series chips, (which mind you were put into affect in 2021) are very effective at gaming. An M1 can run MC at 700 fps, at like 4k res or smthing . You can pick one of those up for 700$... so not even that bad.

I have an M3 Pro MacBook Pro for my Video editing and in my opinion, apart from intense gaming Apple Silicon changes the game. Scrubbing through a 4K 30FPS timeline is super fast and I struggle to find anywhere where it can lag. Even if you spent £10000 on a Windows PC I think it still wouldn’t beat a Mac with Apple Silicon with FCP, Premiere (which is bad everywhere anyway) or Resolve. I get why people like Windows but for me it’s too unstable, laggy for my work and a fresh copy of MacOS is great, there are still lots of things that you can change but they are not necessary and it’s just so much quicker to get ready and working compared to Other Windows.

the numpad on that windows keyboard is uncanny for a laptop

Hey, a quick tip. I get that you already have a windows laptop and computer, but if you ever want, you can run windows 10 (11 unofficially) on any Mac (WITH AN INTEL CPU, but yours qualifies), in case you want/need to run any windows apps or games (such as Skyrim, which only released for windows on computers).
