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...
