Honestly, if it gives you access to the likes of Apple Arcade, it's pretty damn decentYeah, you can't have it all I guess. You do get access to stuff like iOS games and Apple Arcade as compensation, though :P
But I agree, it's not for everyone. People should definitely check to see if their favorite games run on the system before buying. Also, there's Parallels (Windows emulation), which admittedly, I have not tried yet.
At this point, why not just get an M1 Mac mini? Its GPU destroys the ones in the Intel/AMD stuff. Emulation works great on it. There are minor compatibility issues, like games not having Mac versions at launch, but all in all, it's a much better proposition than these APU builds. It's clean, cool, silent, hassle-free, and has almost no footprint.
Maybe it's been a while since the last time you checked?What's the point of buying a computer with an express intent for it to play games where there are little-to-no games available for it?

If your aim is to play bigger budget AAA games, those APUs are not going to do you much good anyway. For Indies/emulation/smaller games, an M1 Mac mini for $700 is a steal. Also, I have been gaming almost exclusively on an M1 MacBook Air since last November. Playing through Pathfinder: Kingmaker right now. As I said, it's not for everyone, but the "it has no games" claim is simply ridiculous.

You'd be surprised. AMD's APUs are great, and when the next-generation RDNA2-equipped models drop the performance will improve even further.
Besides, if I want to play, say, Death Stranding, it ain't happening at all on a Mac. On a APU-equipped PC I could probably manage 60fps at 720p with Low/Medium settings or 30fps at 1080p.
This guy seems to be averaging 45fps at 1080p on a mixture of Medium and High settings on the Ryzen 7 4700G. You could probably get that up to 60fps easily, and that's on the 4700G, which has since been supplanted by the 5700G, which itself will be supplanted as well.
Here's a Youtube video queued up with some performance numbers for the 5700G.
Hey everyone, since Uzzy mentioned this thread in the Steam Deck thread I thought I'd stop by and say hello. I hope you are all having a great time.
I stand corrected. M1 machines are shitty money-grabs that cannot run anything, let alone games.

Jokes aside, I think we are just interested in different games. As I said (twice now?), M1 is not for everyone.
PC =/= Windows. I can post about Mac in a PC thread.You're getting weirdly defensive about this. I've been a Mac user for two decades now and gaming has never been its strong suit.
Between crummy GPU options, completely different CPU architectures, a lack of DirectX, the prevalence of WINE-based solutions in the late 2000s, Apple axing 32-bit support, plus everything else involved in porting games to Mac, nobody has ever bought a Mac specifically to play games.
And considering that this is the PC Gaming thread I don't know why you would even bring it up.

I don't see anything weird in my post. Different people, different interests, different devices. What's defensive about this?
Dude made some false claims that I called BS. If that's weird, I'm weird. You haven't even read the entire conversation, but you HAD TO butt in. My Mac has nothing to do with this. Don't try to make it personal. It is not. The selling thing was a joke, and I immediately said so. Having a conversation is considered weird around here apparently.Dude made a post about why that AMD thing was good, and didn't talk about your mac at all and you replied by talking about how that somehow implied your mac was shitty and you'd sell it.
You are being weird.

ARM PCs still count as PC. I wouldnt be surprised if it were possible to bootcamp M1 Mac with ARM Windows (if it was actually available in an easier way).Actually, does M1 Mac qualify as a PC? It doesn't just need to be a computer marketed for personal usage, see RPG; so since they don't plan to open up for Windows or Linux installs it's close to Amiga tier of differences.

This is what happened:I just came here to ask if anyone had played Mortal Shell on a 1070 but uh.... are you all okay in here?
Come to discord 😤Hey everyone, since Uzzy mentioned this thread in the Steam Deck thread I thought I'd stop by and say hello. I hope you are all having a great time.
I'm pretty sure there is no M1 Boot Camp. ARM Windows is not as easily available as it should, but the current state of Linux on it is unexplainable otherwise.ARM PCs still count as PC.

I think there is no M1 Boot Camp because ARM Windows is just lol worthy for now. Linux ARM is just the chicken-egg problem were Linux doestn have that much money to research onto ARM whiel most of their money is used on other stuff. The problems of open platforms without a ton of money.I'm pretty sure there is no M1 Boot Camp.

I am slightly interested on it from an MMO to grind some time. I really want a calm MMO i can easily play alone and i dont need to pay monthly (otherwise I would take a look at FF14).Surprised there is not much hype for New World. Kinda looking forward to it after WoW shit the bed.
Have you tried Elder Scrolls Online?I am slightly interested on it from an MMO to grind some time. I really want a calm MMO i can easily play alone and i dont need to pay monthly (otherwise I would take a look at FF14).

Not really the calmness i was looking for. I also dont like the fighting at all.
I dont really mind once things are set, but i would still want more of a Guild Wars 2 kinda calmness where you can just do whatever you want alone than the WoW style of having to only focus on endgame.Yeah, it's always fun to get in on the ground floor when everything is still new and before everyone is grinding endgame.
I don't know how Fanatical keeps getting me with these "pay almost two extra bucks and get two mystery games!" deals.
I know they're not going to be any good...but mystery box.

You got me on there
Valve gets to make money twice on the same microtransaction.
ok. I didn't realize you could sell them. mine are worth like 5¢ wtfI think it's something like you collect them and level up your profile, or get a badge or whatever.
I just sell mine. I've purchased games just from the credit I've received from selling cards.
They tend to be cheap unless they are anime or foil. Even if they are cheap, they make up for volume.ok. I didn't realize you could sell them. mine are worth like 5¢ wtf

The community market is great! Paid for my deck completely!Cards let you make your profile pretty through badges and let you get steam nickels
but yeah 1 steam nickel is worthless, but when you have 1000+ games and each game potentially gives 3+ cards that's a lot of nickels. Not to mention if you get a foil card which can sell to some idiot for 2-10$ depending on the game
The community market is great
It was the high end model too!
