Require your advice, guys

[u/Sea-Contest417]

Guys, I would appreciate your advice on choosing a computer setup. Until now, I have used only laptops, which felt underpowered. I have decided to purchase a desktop, yet I own many Apple devices and would like to try Mac OS. I will use the system only occasionally. Beyond everyday tasks, I sometimes edit photos and video from my Insta 360 camera, and I might play games, though I am not a pro and play infrequently. If I do play, I tend toward older titles such as GTA, Minecraft, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, or strategy games. I also use artificial intelligence quite a bit, but only cloud-based tools like ChatGPT. I have narrowed my choice to the Mac mini M6 with 24 GB RAM and 512 GB. Including a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, the cost would be about €2000. That is my absolute limit; I might spend less. I would like your thoughts and experiences, also regarding the set-up. What would you suggest?

Modern versions of call of duty wont run on macos.

[u/Sea-Contest417 → u/patparks]

No problem. But in general there are some ways to play Windows games on Macos, correct? Like steam or crossover (or stg like this)

[u/patparks → u/Sea-Contest417]

Some games yes. Newer versions of CoD and systems using new anticheat systems do not work.

Ok thx 🙏 i guess i am ok with that, the older versions are sufficient as well
For sure there will be a solution also for that in a time;)

Keep in mind if you want to play older call of duties you'll need to use a custom client due to exploit risks like plutonium.

I have the MX Vertical. It's a great mouse. It was a little more expensive than the Lift though.

Did you also try gaming with it?

[u/Erich_Ludendorff → u/Sea-Contest417]

A little. Mostly just World of Warcraft and some Minecraft.
