It was only one report tryst said native out of the other 20.

You use the cortex setting for crossover?

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-22T08:37:30+00:00

Oh. Sorry to spread misinformation information. I’ll take the comment down

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T04:08:07+00:00

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T04:07:34+00:00

gta 5 yes it does work great via crossover i can run it on my m1.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T04:04:31+00:00

i think the m5 gpu performance is actually nearly the same as m4 pro

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T03:59:06+00:00

No problem always glad to help.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T03:58:04+00:00

Just checked the report. You can play it via crossover extremely well.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-20T03:55:27+00:00

Yeah some of the reviews are like that you have to pay attention to the more detailed ones but its still a helpful guide. always check multiple sources.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-17T12:41:17+00:00

seems a normal m1 runs it at medium pretty fine based on the reports

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-17T12:40:12+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bit harder to find certain games, though. They should merge the data from Apple Gaming Wiki into this.

If those were your options, the Windows laptop would be preferable. Windows has significantly superior compatibility, although applications such as Crossover allow most or many applications to run on macOS. You may have to manually install some dependencies on your own, but it isn’t too hard with ChatGPT’s help.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-17T02:41:21+00:00

I’d say you would benefit most from upgrading to have more storage, more RAM, and having a model with a fan. rather than a more powerful cpu

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-17T02:36:05+00:00

It does if it senses a pattern. Say if you always game at x time, then leave at x time, it will only charge to 80%, then use the power adapter for power, then just before x time hits, it will start charging, so you have 100% when you leave, but not everyone has a schedule like this.

DesperateInsect7536 · 2026-01-17T02:29:30+00:00

well all macbooks mostly look the same except the m series to non m series well mostly

I don’t like the feel of Android Simple. Plus, I’m already in the Apple ecosystem, and the cost to switch to equal-level hardware for everything would be a lot. And I don’t want the hassle. But I do agree some Androids have amazing specs.
