Hello, I am looking for a new macbook,
I will use it for school and gaming (like GTA5)
I'd like to last atleast 5 years with it.
My budget is around 1k-3k
Refurbished/2nd hand is also an option for me.
Which macbook should I get? Please use arguments why the macbook you suggest is good.
Thanks

you can play gta5 on a mac?
gta5 does not run natively on mac
what would you use it for with school? things like canvas and turning in assignments?

sonic kiln
yeah if you want gaming you dont really want mac lol
its getting better, but support is still very limited
frail isle

frail isle

I am just looking for a laptop that just works fast
like short loading speed
sonic kiln
macbooks do work really fast, but also come at a premium and with a good bit of drawbacks in a lot of ways

what do you mean with "a premium" and "a good bit of a drawbacks"
I am not looking for a windows laptop
sonic kiln
what do you mean with "a premium" and "a good bit of a drawbacks"
there are a lot of downsides to using a mac, like upgradablity and repairability, and also the limitations that come with macos and its compatibility with games
frail isle
Oh, I use it to store my stuff
sonic kiln
well you arent really gonna play gta5 on a macbook lol
frail isle
Its much easier with ios
sonic kiln

frail isle
well you arent really gonna play gta5 on a macbook lol
no, just some small games like minecraft and some games on steam
frail isle

I have an iphone 13 and want to keep my stuff safe on another device
and when I dont have my laptop I can always use my phone quickly
like it connects easy

The reason I don't really like a windows laptop is because I had one in the past, it was loud and didnt last long. My nephew that had a macbook didnt had the same problems as I did. And I don't really game that much anymore. I said gta5 because it was the heaviest game I play on my past desktop that I sold
sonic kiln
what windows laptop was it?
frail isle
11
sonic kiln

frail isle

no its not logic, I played roblox on 60 fps and it sound like a plane
sonic kiln

it was a low end gaming laptop, ofc there are drawbacks like that
ive never heard of the company medion before, i had to look it up
frail isle
it had 3060 8gb ram, i5 10500k, 32gb ddr4 3200hz
and it lasted 1 hour on 60fps on roblox
is that normal?
sonic kiln
