  • I mean, I’ve been playing about 100 hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 on my M1 MacBook Pro, on the ultra preset. It runs just fine, and the machine barely gets hot while being nearly quiet. In fact, it is a very pleasant gaming experience!

    Could the game run better on a dedicated gaming PC? Sure! Does it need to? Nah, not for me. The fact that I can play on the couch while my SO watches something else is worth a lot more than some extra FPS, to me.


  • I’m honestly not sure that I agree. Full speed USB 3.2/Thunderbolt cables are expensive, and 99.9 % of users will only ever use the supplied cable for charging. The ones who want to do cable transfers at high speed will probably already have the cable they need.

    Limiting the speed of the *port * of the non-Pro models is worse, but likely also a cost-cutting decision that will have little impact on the vast majority of users.

    It would be interesting to know how many of the competitors’ phones offer high speed data transfer through the USB port (I honestly don’t know, but would like to).
