> The GPU almost steals your 1k budget by itself

You can play almost any game on ancient GeForce 1080 (i do) with decent fps, except Starfield and maybe some other poorly optimized titles. On windows, that is.

You can also play almost anything on SteamDeck (15W TDP max) on linux ($400 before discounts).

You can't really play 3/4 of game catalog on MacBook Pro M1Pro or newer ($2000+)



So to make your argument you’re allowing the purchase of old, second hand hardware just to stay under budget.

That’s what started this whole conversation actually… We are talking about the choice of game studios choosing to not support MacOS in their games.
