You can run Adobe and Autodesk products on Win and Mac, you can run free programs like Blender, Gimp, Krita on Linux, Mac, and Windows. This is an old sentiment that isn't true any more. When KSP2 arrives (currently announced as only available for PC and consoles), I can still play it in Windows or just tool on KSP1 on the Mac or Windows side until Star.Theory hires some SQUAD folks who give a dang about Mac and Linux players. While I appreciate the better overall performance of KSP1 under Windows, I prefer the convenience of KSP1 under MacOS since I want to use that operating system for other needs when not gaming. In the case of KSP 1, you can choose to play on either platform. You'll feel a performance pinch with less than 16GB RAM if you like KSP's advanced graphics. No matter what computer type, max out the RAM as much as possible. My iMac was built in 2013 and I'm just now upgrading it to 16GB and an SSD for another 3 years of life before I buy a new one. This ability offsets the higher cost of a typical Apple computer-but as Apple provides the best hardware support (with Lenovo very close behind) you will get a long life with its design. With a restart, you have two computers in one with none of the disadvantages. You'll get a good gaming rig with a copy of Windows 10 (Apple provides the needed drivers), using the BootCamp utility, for a very strong game laptop with all of the gaming strengths that Windows offers. A Mac can run Windows natively as they also use Intel chips. Gaming long-term will work these machines a bit too hard.īefore you worry about losing Windows over a Mac.you won't. Do NOT choose the 13-in MacBook Pro, any MacBook Air or any Mac without a Radeon chip. You can also consider an iMac with Radeon support. It has a Radeon video chip and better horsepower. This laptop is for professional guys with a need for superior graphics support. If you're in school, or if you do graphics or animation work, don't want to fight your computer too often but also occasionally game, you can't go wrong with a MacBook Pro 15-inch. You can build a PC that rivals a NASA orbital calculations supercomputer if you have the cash. Most games will always be available for this platform, and Windows provide the best general integration of graphics software support, hardware diversity (especially if the PC is self-built) and accessories. If you want to game, game, game, a PC with Windows is the better choice. If your box is over 3 years old, I'd recommend a new buy. The answer: It depends on what you need to do.īrand-name PCs often have limited upgrade options or fight what upgrades you add, beyond memory and storage. I'm a long-time desktop tech that fixed everything, but specialized in Apple support.
