A good amount of Steam titles are supported on Mac OS, so if you’ve been previously using a Windows machine and have a huge library, you won’t have to repurchase all of your games if you switch to a new OS. Steam is great because of its frequent sales, interface, and ability to carry over your purchases between machines easily. You can get Steam here, and I highly recommend you do.

Below is a screenshot of my machine’s specs for reference.ĭo you like games? Do you like sales? Do you often fantasize about purchasing AAA games for prices ranging from Big Mac to Five Guys? Steam is the way to go. While I’m aware you can always install Windows via Boot Camp, I’ll only be touching on methods and games that don’t require altering the OS or running a virtual machine. There are likely tons of games and methods that work great, but I haven’t tried yet. Note: I’ll only be listing the methods and games I’ve personally found to work well. Despite this, there are plenty of games and workarounds that’ll still enable you to have fun with friends or in your dorm room after a long stressful day even on a MacBook. If you’re looking for high-performance gameplay, Windows machines are objectively better for gaming. One of the things MacBooks aren’t good at (mostly due to their architecture) is playing games. MacBooks are good at what they do, and they also have their disadvantages.

People seem eager to take sides binary criticism removing the reality that machines can have both good and bad qualities. That’s something important to remember in a time where fanboying is such a prevalent issue in the tech consumer base. Despite what the average internet person will tell you, MacBooks are good at what they do.
