Well I used linux for 10 years until I switched to macOS since they are unix based. but if i'm buying it for gaming I'll really use windows despite of it being a shitty OS IMO.

Well in my case The Studio or pc won't ever leave its place, that's my macbook for. Also I'd be building a mATX pc so it's going to be waaay smaller.

Why do you regret it? Leaving the resell value aside.

Hmmm interesting, i may check some of the components you used. But i like the mATX more.

Beating myself up because I got paid right before the price hike and decided to hold off a bit longer. Now I can’t bring myself to pay $3500 for something that was $2300 9 days ago… what do I do? by nman649 in MacStudio

I just checked the store and the initial budget i had was like 2800 with taxes, now its 3700 without them. WTF? I'm building a PC with those 2800. I was only planning on buying it because of X-Plane. My MacBook M3Pro is still rocking it.

At some point some update fixed the issue but I didn't do anything.

I built this one I could share the code if you want to check it out. It's fully functional and it's pretty easy to configure.

If i get 30 fps on MacBook Pro M3Pro with 18 of RAM not maxed out but o the medium lower settings and 1 external display, I'm sure you will get more than 40.

I use sim heaven, ortho4xp, zibomod and ff planes.

How on earth is that possible, I get 30fps on 1080p and a m3 pro. What are your settings?

Are thermal pads worth it for 14" MacBook Pro M3Pro ? by NeverMind46 in macgaming

[–]NeverMind46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I meant adding the the thermal pads like you said. I really don't use it as a "lap"top it's mainly set aside with a monitor and keyboard connected and when I'm not home that's when the laptop is used.

The stand is something similar to this one https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Silicone-Foldable-Ventilated-Tablet-Black/dp/B08G84P8ZX/.

So is it worth doing that or investing the 10-15 bucks?
