Im thinking of building my own gaming pc but for now my mac is more than enough, and it probably has more power than 90 percent of windows laptops, only thing that macs are missing is more support for games, maybe like rocket league or Fortnite or some other triple a titles. I get 800 fps in minecraft btw...
For gaming sure, but for editing and stuff like that, they can smoke any windows pc. I had a photoshop class and my teacher would usually always have his screen being shared, and he'd fire up photoshop and by the time his was on the loading screen i was already in the app. When i asked his about his computer specs he told be he was using a 12900k and a 3070 ti with 16 gigs of ram, my mac has the m1 and 8 gigs of ram...
