      Um, have you looked at the market for gaming PC’s? Plenty of people with plenty of money who are plenty willing to spend it on a gaming machine. They may not be buying it for gaming just yet. But Apple is absolutely aware this group exists.

      There’s people who would buy a more advanced version (e.g. M3 Pro instead of M3, etc.) for gaming. Many people want MacBooks for work, but also like to game, and buying two separate computers is annoying. I have two separate computers because I am in that category so in theory it sounds pretty cool to be gaming on my Mac in the future. But to give up my Windows gaming PC I would want at least 80% of the games I want to play to be available on Mac. That is a long journey

        That’s me.

        A M3 Max covers everything I need (work, EMR, imaging) and has enough grunt for some games.

        But I still need to lug around a Windows gaming laptop to, well, play the games.

        Right now I carry a 4070 X16 and IPad Pro. Both environments covered. Minimal bulk.

        I’d like Apple to take shit more seriously and at a serious price point.
