Don't Buy Apple Silicon Macs For Gaming! Unless...

In this video I'll be talkg about the M1 Mac and why you shouldn't buy one if you want to game. It has now been 7 months since the release of the M1, and I have recorded over 250 game benchmark videos of games. What I can say is this: the new ARM chips that Apple produced are extremely impressive and it is leaps and bounds more powerful and more efficient than the Intel Macs of the past. However this does not make the Mac a gaming machine, and I would not recommend the M1 for most gamers, except for a few exceptions which I will talk about later in this video. So without further ado, let me give you a breakdown of my reasons why I think the M1 is not for most gamers.
All footage recorded on my MacBook Air M1 2020 with 8 GB RAM and 8 GPU cores.
