What do I consider the best personal laptop option?
- Current gen MacBook Air
- 14" MacBook Pro
- 16" MacBook Pro
But I don't play any games on my MBP. If you want to game, don't choose a Mac laptop, even if you're thinking about doing streaming gaming online. It's terrible unless you're only in the most ideal of circumstances.
I have a 14" MBP M3 Max (waaay overkill, should have gone with an MBA) and a cheap $700 gaming PC (i5-12600K and an RX 6600). It's kind of the best of both worlds. The gaming PC spends its time booted to Linux when I'm not gaming.
