Yea on your laptop sometimes these heavy gaming laptops aren’t ideal.

Before m1 though my previous MacBooks got hot.

And one test with my m3 pro it did get hot and fans happened - think I was testing cyberpunk - and I thought damn burned my legs.

Windows laptops i never entertained idea of gaming on lap - or at least now I have a couch pad mini desk to do it.

My two cents to other readers

Lol this is what non-apple fan people have been saying all along. And you’ll see people defend Apple saying benchmarks dont matter.

​

Its all about trade offs - yes I’ve had windows laptops act weird - and Ive thougth MacOS has some quirks that I like better in Windows (Such as streaming/ Voiicemeter to control mic)

Overall - Apple laptops now with apple silicon are reliable devices with good battery life and decent performance on and off battery. Only windows laptops with AMD processors are decent off battery in my opinion - otherwise you trade off low battery life to maintain the performance with Intel CPU’s (from my 2 windows devices)

If you are plugged in and want raw performance and dont care about heat or fan noise - windows laptops win. + gaming is just built natively for it so it will always run better frame rates then MacOS.

Sometimes I need help with comments cuz I can’t tell if it’s /s or people are serious.

In this case I’m leaning that OP is actually upset lol

Think I did this with m2 pro. - everything gets refunded but I also had Apple Card and was paying it as installments

Either way should have everything refunded

Well if she’s a “Mac chick” sometimes MacBooks are the way. If she seems to not care about having a MacBook - then yea possibly gaming laptop or something .
