Next upgrade I'm moving to MS Surface or something similar. The dongle thing did it for me, which is pretty sad.
I was also a bit surprised to find out that 95% of the gaming market is still on PC [1]. Guess I was a disillusioned Mac user, but I thought Mac was bigger in games.

- r00fus 10y agoYou're not disilliusioned, the Mac always was a niche player for games. Everyone for the past 2 decades knows you don't buy a Mac for games.
