They are 5 years old.and those MacBooks with those chips cost 2-3x more in price. And M2 GPUs get completely waffle stomped by Nvidia and AMD on both raw performance (Nvidia) and performance per watt (AMD) while actually being able to game on and with MUCH better 3rd party software support. Apple fans stay losing lmao.

Quote from: Hypocrisy on February 26, 2023, 20:22:34People need to shut the duck up about prices. Ya'll are liars and don't practice what you preach. I stopped gaming over 10 years ago, just before the rise of mass DLC, microtransaction and eternal beta hell. I stopped buying AAA games, laptops, consoles or even upgrading desktop dGPU's because I saw this $120 ultimate edition b.s. a mile away, the ever increasing power requirements for dGPU's, the lack of availability / increasing prices due to miners and wasn't gonna support an industry with such practices. After my old desktop/laptop died, I just bought a cheap $150 arm Chromebook instead.
I actually voted with my wallet, for a decade.
But what happened? The market ended up buying it all anyway. Companies made billions and continue to so to this very day because of mainstream dumbasses like yourselves.
Naa, I'm no longer gonna do this anymore. Nobody gives a sheet. I'm going to to buy an overpriced RTX 4090/4080 R9 7940HS laptop and help fund Nvidia, AMD, and all the other companies that are increasing their margins. Mostly think I'm gonna play p2w / grinding games but I'll be sure to buy some AAA games by the industries most beloved companies (EA, Ubisoft, Epic, etc) for good measure as well.
Can't beat them, join them.

Think I'll buy a PS4.
Wonder when laptop manufacturers will pull their collective heads out of their asses on pricing.

QuoteOne of the first laptops shipping with a mobile Ryzen 7000 CPU is the HP Dragonfly Pro and its Ryzen 7 7736U. Though it's essentially a rebrand of last year's Ryzen 7 6800U utilizing the same Zen 3+....
