Hi guys,
So currently my 2 x daily machines are a 5,1 cMP (2 x 3.46, 64Gb, 580), & a 2012 non retina MBP (2.6 i7, 16Gb).
Obviously both much older machines & limited as to what OS they can run natively.
Ive been wanting to get a Windows machine for gaming & learning some modding/game making...I really dont want to have 2 desktops & a laptop.
My question is this - would the current top of the line M series MBP have enough performance to run Windows via VM (assuming there is no better/more efficient way of running windows currently?), AND be able to game via Windows/VM?
Would eGPU support be available for the VM Windows?
Im considering buying the current top of the line M3 & having that as my only machine (keeping the MBP as a backup/spare, but getting rid of the 5,1).
I would expect/hope to get at least 5-10 years out of the machine...
Also just for clarity, I am in no ways a "pro" user & would not need that much power/performance normally, it's purely to run Window/games via VM as well as possible.
Thanks in advance
