Zaranthos Admin said: AMD is reminding folks not to buy a MacBook, even if it's as good of a deal as the Neo, if you primarily want to game on it. Instead, AMD's own budget laptops can run all the modern titles you want, with a small caveat. AMD taunts Apple's MacBook Neo for failing to run 75% of top PC games — Only 5 out of the 20 top PC games work on the Neo, while all run on AMD's b… : Read more "Don't buy a MacBook is gaming is a priority."

LordVile Weird they didn’t state the price. Also “runs” isn’t the same as “playable”. As noted in the article one of the games runs at 8FPS Reply

No, I did not make a mistake. Crazy that the top 20 most played games on Steam, ranked by concurrent active players has some 20 year old games in the top 10, number 1 and 9… GTA 5 is 13 years old. Just goes to show that just pretty graphics won't sell your game… 1. Counter-Strike 2 2. PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS 3. Dota 2 4. Apex Legends 5. Black Myth: Wukong 6. Helldivers 2 7. Path of Exile 2 8. Palworld 9. Team Fortress 2 10. Grand Theft Auto V 11. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege 12. Baldur's Gate 3 13. Elden Ring 14. Lost Ark 15. Warframe 16. Rust 17. Destiny 2 18. Stardew Valley 19. Dead by Daylight 20. Terraria Reply
TerryLaze I wonder if they realize that they are the only supplier of APUs to the consoles (xbox/ps) , the steamdeck/machine ,as well as to most of the other handhelds…. most of them have linux and don't run games natively…. Basically they are saying that you shouldn't use AMD on linux devices?!?!?! Reply

ezst036 Apple basically followed the model Valve used for the Steam Machine 1.0 (2018) – port your games to Apple Metal! Apple is just not serious, that model was already proven to fail. Apple have never cared about gamers and gaming and this is a generational attitude of theirs. That's why Linux has way more serious gamers on it these days than than Mac even though Mac has like 25% of the desktop marketshare and Linux only has 5% marketshare. For gaming, Linux is just the better platform for Windows escapees. Reply
