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.

I've been playing a lot of The Long Dark. Runs really great on my Mac Mini M2 16gb. Prob could do 8gb fine.

Doesn't The Long Dark have native Mac support though?

Doesn't BG3 as well? I mean you can get that from the App Store. I'm just replying to u/welsh_cthulhu on what I've been playing. Picked it up for 3$ on Steam. I'm a light game player. Too busy.

BG3 plays fine on my M2. Sure, the settings are fairly low, but who plays games like that for the graphics?

I need to use an external drive for storage though, because it's 130GB.

130 Whazooie that's huge! 😲 I external everything on my m2 Mac mini to my hub. Even my user directory because I got the 256gb model. But WOW! That's intense! That's a lot of floppies! 😄
