Is an Apple Silicone MacBook the right option for my friend?

[etherrasin]

I have a friend who is looking for a new laptop. They find the MacBook appealing and for what it's worth, the ARM MacBooks are very good for what they are. One issue that's come up is that she likes to play League of Legends as well as streaming her gameplay on Twitch. Would she be able to stream LoL using an M1 Mac? Or is she better off getting a PC?

when comes to games, I think it is better to stick with PC, at least no need to play with the machine to get something working.

the raw GPU power of m1 pro / max is good, but not many games optimized for them.

I think an Apple Silicon chip WOULD work for your friend, but honestly, if gaming is the primary purpose of this computer, you are better off going PC.
