Well, if by probably you mean exactly what Austin said, then no, you shouldn't buy one just for gaming. I happen to spend almost all my time developing stuff, and it's nice knowing the stuff I make is Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible from the get-go, so I just use Mac. Then, every once in a while, I'll play some random games and stuff for a while, and so far, the only game that really didn't play well at all(in Bootcamp) was No Man's Sky, which I didn't care for anyway.
Well what I mean is that Macs should primarily be utilized for productivity purposes like video editing, sound editing, school work, watching movies etc. And yes if you want, you can do some light gaming on the side. But you should never purchase a Macbook for the sole purpose of gaming.
actually,you still can game on mac,just install a windows,os is also affects the performance of gaming,if im buy a macbook pro,i will install a windows and make that macbook as a fucking gaming machine
Can you run games on a Mac? Yea. Should you? If you're unwilling or unable to obtain a better machine, yea, I guess. Should you buy a Mac with the intent of gaming on it? NOPE.AVI

No, but yes if ur a kid an play roblox or minecraft(but trust me, minecraft pvp is a whole different thing, even tho i still watch survival youtuber xD)
why? just why. i got a mac for school purposes and when my school gave laptops to students to use i sold my 1200$ mac for a pc that was 800$ and is 4 times faster. you cant be serious than you bought mac for gaming, thats just pure stupidity

sorry i'm a couple years late but would i be able to play cod on my 2018 macbook air? I wouldn't be playing loads, just every now and then, and i'm not a gamer so no other games would be running, but I've seen so many contradicting statements and i don't rly know enough about gaming or laptops to be sure who's right :)
@@niamhg2354 I play on a Mac, what cod games do you want to play? If it’s an older cod like black ops 1 you should be able to on lower settings (if that game is even available on a Mac) but newer cods probably not. I only play league of legends so take my advise with a grain of salt
Ram Dharival . For me, "us" sounds better than "we". it's not a grammatical mistake to use "we" since it doesn't make sense to use both of them. PS. It was more of an advise than a correction, next time I'll make that clear.
Thank you. I work retail and alot of people want to know if they can game on a mac( not as a dedicated gaming pc but just to game as well) this gave me a great idea of how to explain and show how it ca
It would've been interesting to also see Windows via bootcamp and see if there was any performance improvement or decrease in Shadow of Mordor and other games.
@@heypersonpleasegivebackmyl7804 there's a MacOS version for fortnite but it has extremely long loading times when you launch it. Other than that it's not that bad.
My friend installed Windows 10 on his 2012 Macbook Pro with Intel HD 4000 graphics. He uses it to play Overwatch. At absolute lowest settings he can actually get a 30+ FPS average so its actually playable, and he is actually really good at the game.
If you want to use Mac OS and be able to game, hackintosh. Seriously, Apple doesn't sell much gaming capable hardware and what it does you will be paying huge amounts for. If, for instance you need Mac OS for work and want to game on the same system just get a system with a configuration that can take Mac OS, then duel boot with Windows to get the best of both worlds.
I literally do anything and everything in my MacBook Pro 15inch maxed out. Editing, gaming, school work... it’s never had to load in the 1 1/2 years I used it for.
cancancan Nope, SteamOs use the core of Linux but it's not Linux. There is lots of Linux distribution ( Ubuntu, debian, Linux mint...), it's like to have Windows XP, vista, 7,8,10 or 95 lol
Hey, I'm a 62 yr old woman who has never played games before and I read somewhere that it's really good to learn new things as you get older (keeps the brain from getting big holes in there lol 😂) anyway, I haven't got time to be a serious gamer...really...I have a house to run and work full time, but I did buy a Nvidia Shield TV and I'm already through Tomb Raider 2013 and The Walking Dead season 1 and am loving iti have a 2015 MacBook Pro also because they are sexy as hell and lovely to touch (hmmmmm 🤔🤔) anyway....I work a lot of nights and I'm thrilled to hear that I might be able to while away the long lonely hours playing TWD or something similar on my MacBook. So thank you for this review. All those of you who feel the need to insult Macbook owners? Really? If you love your systems, why do you need to be so rude about what other people like to use. It's a free country last time I checked and we all come in all kind of shapes and sizes too. So a little bit of tolerance and less criticism would go a long way? I never realised that men could be soooo bitchy??😲
Beef Stew Unfortunately not, my friend named Matthew brought his MacBook to the park and he just played a little bit of Minecraft and a local police officer saw him and confiscated his MacBook; it is now on his criminal record.
Austin speaking: *Shadow of Mordor*: “To run higher end 3rd party...i7 core processors...boot camp necessities are for...blah blah blah” *Minecraft*: “Yeah it runs good*
The Raspberry PI runs a C++ version of Minecraft, not the full blown Java version. Not only that, the PI's version, one of the oldest version of pocket edition, is set to minimum settings and still has awful frame drops
Actually seeing as I am a guy who works in IT builds computers and works on mac. Some mac ports are absolute shit so running them in Bootcamp will be a better and faster option.
The only thing I dislike about Austin's judgment on gaming on a mac is that he points out the most Nonessential and unnecessary problems that are so little that you don't even recognize anything wrong but again he still recognizes it and reports it to us even if it's not even a major problem. But I get your supposed to showcase the pros and cons but if the cons are very little i don't think it matters especially to the kids who just wanna play games on their mac especially if its not a full lag or glitch.
Well I got a Maxed Out macbook pro with radeon pro 560 from the apple shop as my uncle works there and I was doing work experience so I got a reward of my liking. Yeah! gaming on the 5th gen Radeon Pro 560 is differently game able on all sorts of levels! I just have a 1TB ssd in the mac and load windows and mac OS half of 1tb and it's great. Windows for gaming, MacOS for editing (I just like editing in MacOS). Great machine. I think the reason why not many people like macs (for gaming) is the fact that It's expensive Runs MacOS ( They don't know that you can bootcamp windows 10 or lower) And others bag macs out so they do too. If it wasn't that expensive and it was just your typical gaming laptop price then people would go ahead and buy a mac for gaming of how premium it is.
I used to be a purely console gamer. Until I had a powerful enough laptop to play games with. My MacBook was the first laptop that allowed me to play most modern games at moderate settings. From there I was hooked. Now I have custom watercooled PC with a 1080ti. MacBooks are brilliant at playing games but it's not a bad device to play it on if you have nothing else.
BoomCHAKADAH that cheap Intel laptop would be inferior to the MacBook Pro for just about anything. Pc laptops are so bad. I've yet to use one that didn't have complete crap for a trackpad. If you want to game, buy a gaming pc (seriously, don't step up with some $500 compromised shitter talking about you're a gamer now... no you're not). If you want to do regular shit no-frills buy a pc. If you want to work and do other shit while having a smooth ride buy a Mac. Mac's are basically the Cadillac cars of the computer world, y'all acting like they're supposed to be ferraris and shit. Macs aren't even expensive computers. They're still on the consumer level with their stuff.
BoomCHAKADAH my problem is I want a nice computer to bring to school, but I can run bops 3, 7DTD, and Minecraft. I found a nice laptop for 100$ that's gaming but I hate that it looks like a gaming laptop.
xxhalogamer22xx But realistically, Apple is has been heavily pushing gaming on the Apple TV, so I am assuming that Apple thinks that their streaming box has the potential to be a fully fledged gaming console even though it does not have the power. It just runs a couple non-demanding, loot-box littered mobile games.
I played Mass Effect 3 on a boot camped late 2011 15' MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz i7, 8GB 1600 DDR3, and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GB. It wasn't the greatest experience but it worked. I got the Mac from school as part of a package.
Austin I need a pc that cn handle all games at 1080p 60fps at the highest settings games get what pc will do the job I'm looking at ibuypower am003i i7 7700k gtx 1080 8gb and 16gb ddr4 ram
Why are people being so disgusting. Not because you don't believe in God means you go about bashing people who do. And i doubt he was talking about Christianity, i think he was referring to the fact that people are running games on Macs, as a joke. I may be wrong tho. But people are disgusting
I've had a Macbook pro 13' for 7 years.. it still works and can play some games on it. I get normal 20-30fps and on bad days 10-15. I build my first PC 3 days ago and I can say I'm never going back to mac again.
hello austin, i was looking at your videos on pc builds and i always get confused on graphics card names and brands like gtx 1080 and gtx 750 and so many other names. so i was wondering if you could make a video on graphics cards. please.
The GTX series means that first/two numbers (Example, Gtx 980-Gtx 1080) They mean a new generation. The last 2 numbers indicate its power/price. A 980 is better than a 970. A Gtx 750 is part of the 700 series which released in May 2013.
yes the rhasberry pie was easy because it was a very old old version but this minecraft is "demanding" ish because it has constant updates way more thing so if i were you i'd put the fps on unlimited to get the best experiance
I'm not sure if you're joking or not because the cheapest iMac Pro is five grand. The iMac Pro is a very good all in one PC, but it is still cheaper to make a custom PC with a more powerful GPU and more expandibility for the future.
I'm using a macbook pro (2020, 13-inch, 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5), and YES you can game on it but it shouldn't be intended as a main gaming device. I play League of Legends and Cs:Go, it runs very good for a mac in just the right graphics. The fps is fine and good enough for a smooth gameplay for both games.
If you are a hardcore gamer get a PC If you are a causal gamer get a Mac In the end a PC is meant for gaming, such as for AAA titles. A Mac is really not meant for AAA titles but it can definitely play some decent games, just make sure to lower the settings to make it run smoother for certain games. I have an Xbox one for my hardcore games and I needed to get a Mac for college but I do plan on playing some games on it such as Minecraft and hopefully The Isle
You can't upgrade a mac after you buy it and the best macbook you can get runs just around modern day consoles ( it has more ram but a worse cpu), both run modern triple A titles at very low-med at barely 30fps.
What do you exactly mean all in one? You cant put different consoles into one big console. They all have different incompatible technologies except for Xbox and PS4 which use a similar Jaguar APU.
I mainly use my mac for music and photoshop but I have managed to download overwatch, pubg, wot, skyrim, a bunch of good shooters and fortnite. They all run at a solid 60-120fps and the graphics are so good :0
I have a Mac and I you can easily game,and a friend of mine has an iMac and he plays games every day without any complaint,so yeah,I guess you can game
Short answer: Yes but you probably shouldn't.
Well, if by probably you mean exactly what Austin said, then no, you shouldn't buy one just for gaming. I happen to spend almost all my time developing stuff, and it's nice knowing the stuff I make is Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible from the get-go, so I just use Mac. Then, every once in a while, I'll play some random games and stuff for a while, and so far, the only game that really didn't play well at all(in Bootcamp) was No Man's Sky, which I didn't care for anyway.
Shouldn't? Why not? Is it going to get destroyed?! wtf.
CJ Burkley Try playing Watch_Dogs 2 and tell me how that goes
Well what I mean is that Macs should primarily be utilized for productivity purposes like video editing, sound editing, school work, watching movies etc. And yes if you want, you can do some light gaming on the side.
But you should never purchase a Macbook for the sole purpose of gaming.

You can game on anything. Even a raspberry pi. Whether or not you can play modern AAA titles is another thing.
So yes, you can game on a Mac. Should you buy a Mac just for gaming? No.
But if you're a student, and you can only buy 1 computer. Then a Mac is your best option. Gaming laptops are bad for school. Windows laptops are subpar work machines compared to Macbooks.
Though, if you can afford a Mac, and you're a serious gamer, a PC for $500 would be better, and then get a decent Windows laptop for $500-600, that has good battery life, trackpad, keyboard, and is light. Or get a second hand/older generation Macbook air or something.

@@niamhg2354 I play on a Mac, what cod games do you want to play? If it’s an older cod like black ops 1 you should be able to on lower settings (if that game is even available on a Mac) but newer cods probably not. I only play league of legends so take my advise with a grain of salt

‘Hey austin this is us ’
Ram Dharival *us
There's no reason to correct him as its a quote.
Omar Huda what do you mean
other people can see you edited your comment
Ram Dharival . For me, "us" sounds better than "we". it's not a grammatical mistake to use "we" since it doesn't make sense to use both of them.
PS. It was more of an advise than a correction, next time I'll make that clear.
Cool, nice to see the improvements in gaming on the MBP. I personally use the 13 inch 2015 model and it runs War Thunder rather well.
I love this channel since he gets to the point of the video immediately and actually does stuff right, you sir have gained a subscriber
imagine he clickbaited it and put Crysis
Thank you. I work retail and alot of people want to know if they can game on a mac( not as a dedicated gaming pc but just to game as well) this gave me a great idea of how to explain and show how it ca
Can it run ...
*SOLITAIRE* ???
Well the new iMac runs games pretty well, actually. Of course, I wouldn't use it as my gaming machine, got a pc for that but it's pretty good.
HeyheyIzDa Kaykay Even my imac 2015 runs games just fine
cool
Uh, my 2017 IMac can’t play fortnite
Marcus Kane it’s because of the shitty port
Bobby Papoutsis how did it work? I dont game all the time but it would be nice to be able to play PUBG or Fortnite during travel.
It would've been interesting to also see Windows via bootcamp and see if there was any performance improvement or decrease in Shadow of Mordor and other games.
What's the opposite of charisma, I feel like that would be the best word to describe Austin's commentary
People down below say Mac can’t play games. My Mac runs games fine. People who say macs can’t games just have never played games on a Mac before.
U can play light games on mac ok.
yeah,why they dont install a windows on their fucking mac
Yea , I played a few games on Mac and the results weren't terrible.
Can you play fortnite tho?
@@heypersonpleasegivebackmyl7804 there's a MacOS version for fortnite but it has extremely long loading times when you launch it. Other than that it's not that bad.
Steam has a BUILT IN FPS COUNTER
AbdallahSmash026#1Fan by turning it off in steam settings
While in game, press shift+tab, settings, in game, FPS counter
My friend installed Windows 10 on his 2012 Macbook Pro with Intel HD 4000 graphics. He uses it to play Overwatch. At absolute lowest settings he can actually get a 30+ FPS average so its actually playable, and he is actually really good at the game.
Short answer: No
LucaAlsGamer yup
to only show gameplay in a 24fps video is pointless xDD
We have to trust his word!
I game on a mac and I have a tip: plugin a razor mouse, a SteelSeries Blue light keyboard and an LG FLATRON IPS235 monitor and it is ready to go
But can it run Spider-Man Web of Shadows?
If you want to use Mac OS and be able to game, hackintosh. Seriously, Apple doesn't sell much gaming capable hardware and what it does you will be paying huge amounts for. If, for instance you need Mac OS for work and want to game on the same system just get a system with a configuration that can take Mac OS, then duel boot with Windows to get the best of both worlds.
James Lewis That's what I did. Windows 10 gave me 20% more fps
I literally do anything and everything in my MacBook Pro 15inch maxed out. Editing, gaming, school work... it’s never had to load in the 1 1/2 years I used it for.
The real question is : Can you game on Linux? (i already use Linux so yes, its possible)
SzaryM just game on Linux
Damien PHAM is it possible to get steam on linux?
Matt Bart Bruh are you serious ? I think steam for Linux was available in 2014 or 2015
SteamOS is linux
cancancan Nope, SteamOs use the core of Linux but it's not Linux. There is lots of Linux distribution ( Ubuntu, debian, Linux mint...), it's like to have Windows XP, vista, 7,8,10 or 95 lol
I play sims 4 on my Mac 🤷🏽♂️
Dylan Mok does it work
@@sagbag9410 Yes, terribly
sag bag ye
Hey, I'm a 62 yr old woman who has never played games before and I read somewhere that it's really good to learn new things as you get older (keeps the brain from getting big holes in there lol 😂) anyway, I haven't got time to be a serious gamer...really...I have a house to run and work full time, but I did buy a Nvidia Shield TV and I'm already through Tomb Raider 2013 and The Walking Dead season 1 and am loving iti have a 2015 MacBook Pro also because they are sexy as hell and lovely to touch (hmmmmm 🤔🤔) anyway....I work a lot of nights and I'm thrilled to hear that I might be able to while away the long lonely hours playing TWD or something similar on my MacBook. So thank you for this review. All those of you who feel the need to insult Macbook owners? Really? If you love your systems, why do you need to be so rude about what other people like to use. It's a free country last time I checked and we all come in all kind of shapes and sizes too. So a little bit of tolerance and less criticism would go a long way? I never realised that men could be soooo bitchy??😲
? Is it legal to Game on a Mac
/:
No, you will go to prison. Apple has a government agency that finds you via location, and arrests you when a game is launched on a MacBook, or iMac.
Beef Stew stop bullshitting, we all know its not apple that is going to send you prison but the local police, if they ever notice.
Beef Stew Unfortunately not, my friend named Matthew brought his MacBook to the park and he just played a little bit of Minecraft and a local police officer saw him and confiscated his MacBook; it is now on his criminal record.
Connor Daley my condolences.
No
Austin speaking:
*Shadow of Mordor*: “To run higher end 3rd party...i7 core processors...boot camp necessities are for...blah blah blah”
*Minecraft*: “Yeah it runs good*
The Raspberry PI runs a C++ version of Minecraft, not the full blown Java version. Not only that, the PI's version, one of the oldest version of pocket edition, is set to minimum settings and still has awful frame drops
Asks "Can you game on a mac" *Plays minecraft* smh
well thats the limt
Will run about 60% better on bootcamp
Actually seeing as I am a guy who works in IT builds computers and works on mac. Some mac ports are absolute shit so running them in Bootcamp will be a better and faster option.
lol i can't run a game like ark survival smoothly on mac but when i use bootcamp to game on windows it runs smooth like butter.
the dude is a rip off off a famous youtuber in the minecraft comunity call Custom.
Cutsom
mm
+Blehmaster pretty sure u're the ignorant here, DirectX on windows is so much better than OpenGl, about 60%
The only thing I dislike about Austin's judgment on gaming on a mac is that he points out the most Nonessential and unnecessary problems that are so little that you don't even recognize anything wrong but again he still recognizes it and reports it to us even if it's not even a major problem. But I get your supposed to showcase the pros and cons but if the cons are very little i don't think it matters especially to the kids who just wanna play games on their mac especially if its not a full lag or glitch.
Well I got a Maxed Out macbook pro with radeon pro 560 from the apple shop as my uncle works there and I was doing work experience so I got a reward of my liking.
Yeah! gaming on the 5th gen Radeon Pro 560 is differently game able on all sorts of levels! I just have a 1TB ssd in the mac and load windows and mac OS half of 1tb and it's great. Windows for gaming, MacOS for editing (I just like editing in MacOS). Great machine.
I think the reason why not many people like macs (for gaming) is the fact that
It's expensive
Runs MacOS ( They don't know that you can bootcamp windows 10 or lower)
And others bag macs out so they do too.
If it wasn't that expensive and it was just your typical gaming laptop price then people would go ahead and buy a mac for gaming of how premium it is.
Got the Macbook for free
I can’t stop laughing at the title like a maniac LMAO 😂🤣
I used to be a purely console gamer. Until I had a powerful enough laptop to play games with. My MacBook was the first laptop that allowed me to play most modern games at moderate settings. From there I was hooked. Now I have custom watercooled PC with a 1080ti. MacBooks are brilliant at playing games but it's not a bad device to play it on if you have nothing else.
instead of buying a macbook, build a 4k gaming beast and buy a mediocre slim laptop.
BoomCHAKADAH yeah but then I have a mediocre thin Laptop and a 4K gaming pC that I don't need 😀
LMAO, you won't need a gaming pc if you don't play games. so buy a cheap intel laptop instead, it'll do everything but gaming.
BoomCHAKADAH that cheap Intel laptop would be inferior to the MacBook Pro for just about anything. Pc laptops are so bad. I've yet to use one that didn't have complete crap for a trackpad.
If you want to game, buy a gaming pc (seriously, don't step up with some $500 compromised shitter talking about you're a gamer now... no you're not). If you want to do regular shit no-frills buy a pc. If you want to work and do other shit while having a smooth ride buy a Mac. Mac's are basically the Cadillac cars of the computer world, y'all acting like they're supposed to be ferraris and shit.
Macs aren't even expensive computers. They're still on the consumer level with their stuff.
BoomCHAKADAH my problem is I want a nice computer to bring to school, but I can run bops 3, 7DTD, and Minecraft. I found a nice laptop for 100$ that's gaming but I hate that it looks like a gaming laptop.
you mean $1000?
Imagine if Apple released an actual platform designed for gaming 😂
xxhalogamer22xx But realistically, Apple is has been heavily pushing gaming on the Apple TV, so I am assuming that Apple thinks that their streaming box has the potential to be a fully fledged gaming console even though it does not have the power. It just runs a couple non-demanding, loot-box littered mobile games.
I played Mass Effect 3 on a boot camped late 2011 15' MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz i7, 8GB 1600 DDR3, and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1GB. It wasn't the greatest experience but it worked. I got the Mac from school as part of a package.
Gta 5?
Short answer 'NO'
Not many people know this but geforce experience is a beta software that allows mac gamers to play almost any PC game on Mac via emulation
Austin I need a pc that cn handle all games at 1080p 60fps at the highest settings games get what pc will do the job I'm looking at ibuypower am003i i7 7700k gtx 1080 8gb and 16gb ddr4 ram
ẘἶɕƙἔȡ ḣἔ ɓǻȡ lol you only need an i5 and a 1060 to easily get 1080p maybe even 1440p at high settings 69fos
ẘἶɕƙἔȡ ḣἔ ɓǻȡ. Thats too overkill for 1080p maybe for 1440p or 4k lol
Are you sure you're not making a 4k 60 fps rig?
Everyday we stray further from god
fuck off
MrGhost370 So ur Mahatma Ghandi Follower or Allah Follower?
Not right
Why are people being so disgusting. Not because you don't believe in God means you go about bashing people who do.
And i doubt he was talking about Christianity, i think he was referring to the fact that people are running games on Macs, as a joke. I may be wrong tho.
But people are disgusting
Nihal Athavale you got that from 9gag?
I've had a Macbook pro 13' for 7 years.. it still works and can play some games on it. I get normal 20-30fps and on bad days 10-15.
I build my first PC 3 days ago and I can say I'm never going back to mac again.
I would get a MacBook for the video editor not for gaming
Skullcrusher81 Smith imma bout to delete mine, but I wonder if he realized it or if he just got mad.
Your Pal Ned Flanders he probably realized he was wrong
Skullcrusher81 Smith could be.
Since I only play lighter games I might go and buy an iMac
My Mac Pro 2017 got heat to 100 grade celsius while playing Minecraft.
mac might be the superior all in one pc.
NO
5:10
Logic be chilling in the back
You can play pinball
Wait this isn't windows
hello austin, i was looking at your videos on pc builds and i always get confused on graphics card names and brands like gtx 1080 and gtx 750 and so many other names. so i was wondering if you could make a video on graphics cards. please.
If you want a new graphics card get the rx 580 570 or 560
The GTX series means that first/two numbers (Example, Gtx 980-Gtx 1080) They mean a new generation. The last 2 numbers indicate its power/price. A 980 is better than a 970. A Gtx 750 is part of the 700 series which released in May 2013.
If he is going for a budget/mid range sure but if he going for high end. Nvidia is the king right now until Vega releases from AMD in late july.
budget can be anything but yeah your right
TomFleec NO
yes the rhasberry pie was easy because it was a very old old version but this minecraft is "demanding" ish because it has constant updates way more thing so if i were you i'd put the fps on unlimited to get the best experiance
The new iMac Pro has one of the fastest GPU's and it cost less than a custom pc with the same specs.
jake patino what gpu. I mean I know they are going to release a new one with the amd vega graphics card but yea
RexyGames AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64
I'm not sure if you're joking or not because the cheapest iMac Pro is five grand. The iMac Pro is a very good all in one PC, but it is still cheaper to make a custom PC with a more powerful GPU and more expandibility for the future.
Andrew Chen what? since when is it 5 grand it's like 1 grand or 2 grand at the very least
Andrew Chen but that doesnt have such a great 5k display
But can you Mac on a Cheese?
I'm using a macbook pro (2020, 13-inch, 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5), and YES you can game on it but it shouldn't be intended as a main gaming device. I play League of Legends and Cs:Go, it runs very good for a mac in just the right graphics. The fps is fine and good enough for a smooth gameplay for both games.
I just want to know if I can play the sims with decent graphics on and a couple expansions
Stale meme lord no
Yes you can I play sims4 on very high graphics and extras and it works perfectly
Be hard on a MacBook Pro, iMac might be able to handle it, especially a maxed-out edition.
can u play Minecraft on the world smallest laptop?
Yes, because you can play csgo on it.
If it runs csgo it runs Minecraft even better
ZacKKoh I like how he didnt put minecraft on 120 cause logic
Pfft, the real question is, can it play Minecraft on the world's smallest VIOLIN?!
If you are a hardcore gamer get a PC
If you are a causal gamer get a Mac
In the end a PC is meant for gaming, such as for AAA titles. A Mac is really not meant for AAA titles but it can definitely play some decent games, just make sure to lower the settings to make it run smoother for certain games. I have an Xbox one for my hardcore games and I needed to get a Mac for college but I do plan on playing some games on it such as Minecraft and hopefully The Isle
play game on a maxed out 15 inch macbook pro
Watch Austin play minecraft servers and watch minecraft just gets 1 FPS
Derp Slayer Minecraft servers run just fine on my mac from 2015
Ye, hypixel, a skywars or bedwars lobby...
Or mineplex...
ZP6 PVP I go in servers with a lot of people on full settings and still above 60 fps
adriel001 MacBook name? Like generation
What I thought before watching the video: "You can't game on Mac."
What I thought after watching the video: "You can't game on Mac."
Austin, I bought a 2010 macbook and it runs just as fast as a new windows pc. So i think your wrong about not buying a mac.
Wiemu 1. 2.4 ghz model. I also upgraded the ram and storage. 2. 400 dollars with the upgrade 3. I'm comparing it to the computers in the video.
PandaBearPvP lol, those settings are trash for gaming.
Yet it works really well. Who cares what the specs are of the game you are playing is the same as a harbinger ghee spec model
You can't upgrade a mac after you buy it and the best macbook you can get runs just around modern day consoles ( it has more ram but a worse cpu), both run modern triple A titles at very low-med at barely 30fps.
austin evans can u make a ps4 xbox 1 and a nintendo switch in one
call it building the ultimate play place or sumthin
What do you exactly mean all in one? You cant put different consoles into one big console. They all have different incompatible technologies except for Xbox and PS4 which use a similar Jaguar APU.
no idk i ment like put them in one like container idk i cant explain correctly
You mean like where you can just easily switch them out?
I mainly use my mac for music and photoshop but I have managed to download overwatch, pubg, wot, skyrim, a bunch of good shooters and fortnite. They all run at a solid 60-120fps and the graphics are so good :0
When you play F1 2016!!! woohoo!
It's actually a pretty demanding title
Immediately thought about Ben's cornercuts.....
I have a Mac and I you can easily game,and a friend of mine has an iMac and he plays games every day without any complaint,so yeah,I guess you can game
Yeah, at fucking 30fps.
I assume you have a gaming PC so, I wouldn't judge before trying one out.
Just wish to saw this vid 3 years ago
But can u play Minecraft on Mac?
khai kay yes
khai kay i
Yes and no and yes and no
You can play it on almost every OS. If you have Java VM installed there
Yes at only 200fps
