The biggest downside to me is games. I returned an iPad Pro for the 12" MacBook. Just as portable and Civ V and Steam/Xbox streaming is a much better use of my limited gaming time than anything on the app store.
- thenomad 11y agoThat's the same reason I got a Surface Pro. (Well, one of them.) I can play almost any modern game on the darn thing, which is quite impressive. Even The Witcher 3 will run on it, I understand (haven't tried it myself). At low settings and low res, granted.
- wklauss 11y agoI could not get around the noise the fan made, though. It's not really a good gaming machine, IMHO. And yes, I know it doesn't intend to be one, it's just that even for casual gaming it becomes a really uncomfortable device. Gets hot, noisy and screen is rather small.
- UnoriginalGuy 11y ago> Gets hot, noisy and screen is rather small. Definitely true, and burns through battery like crazy. But it is still impressive something that tiny can run modern games at all. And frankly it does a really good job. There are better laptops for mobile gaming, but not in that weight and size class or even close.
- dhimes 11y agoHave you tried running virtual box on that? I'm looking into something a bit more portable than my Toshiba.
