Will need to upgrade my laptop soon. Currently a 2018 MacBook Pro. Obviously PC is best for gaming. Currently old Mac maxes out at 60hz refresh rate

Any recommendations on best laptop for gaming and typical use?

Curious if anyone has had a positive experience with new MacBooks (ie M2) and using parallels if you to run windows exclusively app/games. Or just bite the bullet a move to PC

Do you need to be mobile with it? You can build a desktop for reasonable prices and get a mac book for other purposes (recommend Apples official refurb.)

There’s lots of resources on the internet based on your needs. It’ll scale up and down the suggested part. Google: PC part picker + building + gaming

Even if you get a Mac with a higher refresh rate it likely won't be powerful enough to get those frame rates.

Desktops are the best for gaming by a country mile.

You can build a good midrange for around 1k, or something higher end around 1.5k+.

The current generation of GPUs is pretty mid though, would have liked to see more gains for the prices they are charging.
