I've recently taken a MacBook Pro 14-inch with M1 Max and 64GB unified memory, and I have worked through a lot of games with dedicated Mac support on Steam to see how well they perform against their Windows counterparts ( Full disclosure: Apple was kind enough to loan TechRadar the device for testing purposes and while 64GB memory is a huge amount of memory, its impact on gaming performance over a 32GB RAM gaming laptop would be negligible given the demands of current games). They aren't wrong on that point, at least as far as the hardware is concerned. Some Apple fans will be quick to point out that the current line-up of MacBook Pros make excellent gaming laptops, especially as you move higher up the configuration stack to the M1 Pro and M1 Max. It has the hardware and the incentive to do so, so what would it look like if Apple said "Screw it, let's do a gaming laptop", and how could it win over skeptical PC gamers? What kind of hardware would it bring to the table? While there hasn't been a Mac gaming revolution (yet), Apple itself has taken an interest in competing in the gaming space for the first time in decades and it has a lot of things going in its favor.īut PC gaming isn't the kind of thing you can do effectively with half-measures, however, so Apple would need to go big if it plans to make a play for one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world. That has started to shift, however, and for several reasons.
