Crap support, crap build quality (in most of their laptops), crap internal quality, crap parts availability, crap software/driver support... Ever been inside one? I've been inside many, and Asus laptops are probably the worst in general.
That will most likely not be a very pleasurable experience
 
Debatable but you want a heater in your laptop? OK.

For some tasks, especially gaming, a little more heat is well worth the boost in performance.
But OK, I will concede that the MBP is great for gaming for it's size and efficiency. It just isn't the amazing computing marvel that's better in every way that some people claim it is.

I mean it's so good at gaming that Steam has all it's greats on MAC version.
 
I would at least like to defend my position without having to derail the thread. It’s a laptop, it’s not meant for gaming. Gaming on a laptop is for a small niche, everybody else who does it is a fool. By that standard , for casual gaming, it’s pretty decent. It offers more than what is necessary.

Stop derailing the thread..

Nobody cares about your or anyone else's position on gaming on a laptop..

Go create a new thread if you so badly need to win this argument.....

Somebody asked about laptops, and the M1 is a hardware bargain. That’s how this conversation started, stfu.
 
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bargain but I think it's a fairly beefy laptop for what you pay.

Ended up getting one of these.
 
From Takealot

ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT OC Edition @ R3199
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition @ R4999

This is the lowest priced 3050 and 6500 XT I've seen from any store, and of course free delivery as well since it's Takealot.

Yeah price has come down nicely can get a RTX 3060 for R 7500 and a RTX 3060ti for R 9400
