Those people ended up breaking it TWICE. Once when she brought it in to get serviced, came back and the keyboard didn’t work, so we brought it back to get fixed, they said it would cost $400 to fix the keyboard, so we decided not to fix it, and it came back and the wifi doesn’t work anymore.
Well that’s the thing. 15 years is a long time when speaking about technology development, be it digital or not technology advances at an incredible rate.
I don’t understand this bit because I haven’t used macbooks in ages, but one of my friends has a macbook with an apple mouse, I don’t understand how to use it
well atleast it wasnt your money, would suck even more…
Yeah, it just annoys me so much. She bought another 2 laptops from them, which, surprise surprise were rip offs too.

Huehue, my house had fibre, and ethernet was run through the house, but the garage was my wifi link.
So I’d have my PC in the house, and be streaming the game over the wifi to the garage to be able to be messing about out there, and still be able to queue and jam a match or 2 in breaks.
Server cabinets everywhere though, I’ve accumulated 4 of them, 3 fullsize and a half size that resides in my bedroom holding my nas, switches and various test rigs.
Being into tech is a literal disease xD
Basically to right click you pressed and held what is essentially ctrl on the keyboard and then “left clicked”. Just felt like unncessary extra steps. I also hated the ultra low DPI they had the mouses set to. I had mine like 5x higher. My lecturers hated helping me :D
That’s honestly so cool. I’d love to do that, I mean obviously I’m not old enough to have a house of my own, but yk when I do I’d love to do stuff like that.
It is. But it’s so amazing, I’ve only just started learning things about it since my laptop got buggered and I’m loving it so much.
Excuse me what? That is absolutely disgusting. It isn’t that difficult to put a right click on a mouse. I assume what you mean is the Command key which is absolutely pointless as I believe they ALSO have the control key on the keyboard, which if I recall correctly does basically nothing.
Basically. But yeah, it drove me nuts. So just took a gaming mouse (with the full 12 buttons on the side of the mouse and RGBs) to college/uni every day both for my own laptop and to use on the Macs :D

honestly it runs pretty well on macbook in my experience but after updates it can be a bit laggy
Hello there, an Apple MacBook Pro user here; I would say that if you are just a casual gamer who wants to experience the game every now and then, with a more solid usage of the MacBook for productivity (be it for studies, work, etc), it is probably a fine choice. On the other hand, if you are looking for a laptop just for gaming, I would recommend something else.
PS: the MacBook Pro Max does not cost $5000 (as in USD); rather, it is priced between $3500 (USD) and $4000 (USD) for the 16-inch variant; nevertheless, if you have a $5000 (USD) budget, you can get an incredibly solid PC or a gaming laptop that can perform far more than any MacBook Pro (at least in the current market). I have been using MacBooks and iMacs for over 15 years and can tell you that neither MacBooks nor iMacs are the best option out there for gaming, either due to specifications or because they are completely unsupported (macOS vs. Windows). Even if you has the best MacBook Pro out there right now, your choice of games is still extremely limited.
Thank you for your response. At 36, I’ve owned a plethora of laptops—MSI, Dell, Asus, and so on. Each was the best in its time. I have nothing bad to say about Windows and I’m well aware of all its strengths and weaknesses. A year ago, I bought my first Apple computer, and I’ve never held anything better in my life. It completely satisfies me and most importantly, it matches my philosophy of reliability and simplicity. However, there’s one issue—I love playing War Thunder, which I’ve been doing since 2014. My job involves extensive travel for which the Apple MacBook is simply ideal, and honestly, for work, the minimal Apple Air is quite sufficient for me. But to be able to play my favorite game, War Thunder, I am willing to splurge and go for the most expensive Pro 14. However, I am concerned about the constant complaints from Mac users. I hope you understand my point. On the top-tier M3 Max with 40 GPU cores, it delivers 180 FPS, which is enough for me; I play no other games, just work and War Thunder. and by the way 14 max with 2TB and 128 RAM cost 5048 USD.
For $ 5000
You could build PC with Ryzen 7800X3d (or could wait for new gen release next month)
RX 7900 XTX or 4800 (4090 is waste purely for gaming )
128 gb ram
2 x ssd
mobo
case
water cooling AIO
peripherals
monitor
and still have money left over
and have peace of mind for next 5 + years
I use nothing but Apple for work as they dont just write viruses and hacks for Apple and they are brilliant machines,once you use apple you would never go back.I have seen the Macbook 2 run WT but it was a little shaky and made the fans wizz nosily.I am assuming you are buying a Macbook for business other wise you could of course build an amazing PC system for that money and Macs were never great games machines.
edit: sorry I should have read the previous comments first ,my bad.
