MODERATORS
I’ve been a Apple MBP owner since 2008 and a Mac user as far back as I can remember. The argument that macs can’t game always ticked me off because if you had any of the pro models (e.g. a dedicated gpu), from a hardware perspective this demonstrably wasn’t true. Install boot camp and a copy of windows and games ran without barrier. It’s just that most developers didn’t produce games to run natively on Mac so therefore gamers didn’t buy macs. Ergo “can’t”game on a Mac.
Upgradable GPU
I’ll give you that, you had to upgrade the whole box. Doesn’t change the fact that if you had one with a decent gpu that you could still game with it.
Nobody that is computer hardware centric is going to take interest in buying an Apple computer though. So it will never end up in their hands to begin with
