    How foolish would it be to buy an M4 Max MBP for gaming ?

    Hi, So basically i'm now wondering if buying an M4 Max macbook would be enough to play titles such as Crusader Kings 3 (particularly the AGOT mod), Cyberpunk 2077 and the next GTA 6 with high/very high graphics settings. I was planing on buying either a Razer Blade with a 4090 or a desktop PC...

    iPhone 16/Plus A18 vs A17 Pro for gaming

    Would be interesting to see how iPhone 16 performs in games compared to 15 Pro. I don't believe that having 1 GPU more will simply answer the question. A18 in iPhone 16 is a newer and more efficient processor compared to A17 Pro in iPhone 15 Pro. The heat is to be considered as well as other...
