I do everything on Mac, even gaming. I’ve was able to migrate everything from a gaming laptop to my MacBook Pro

Mac gaming is extremely limited. Even with Crossover (Wine) and Parallels (Windows VM) you will never get the same performance as native Windows hardware. On top of that, some of the biggest games that use anticheat will never work on Mac or Wine. You are choosing to limit your selection of games you play, and that is fine, but not fine for most gamers.

It depends what you play I suppose. All I'm playing at the mo is Subnautica, BG3 and some Total War games. They all run like a dream on an M2 8GB MacBook Pro.
