Of Course, I GAMED on the M1 Max!

Apple's MacBook Pro with the M1 Max processor is the closest or is a direct desktop replacement for creators or power users. 10-CPU cores and up to 32-GPU cores are definitely a giant leap for Apple in laptops for power and efficiency.

“GAMED on the M1 Max”

Games for 1m20s at the end of the video.

[LiyoungMartin]

Jono: "It's about six inches."
Linus: "The length is about right, but it's girthier, and as we all know, that's the most important thing anyway."

[heartsky]

I like geeks who can see past the Apple fanboyism and Apple anti-fanboyism and critically review Apple's latest hardware offerings.

[neverenoughguitars]

I think Linus secretly loves "accidentally" breaking things. He tries so hard 🤣

[Jayesh]

Linus: "I gamed on m1 max"
Also Linus "here's 1 min of gaming In a 16 min vid."


Update: chill guys don't hate, it's just friendly and fun criticism.

[The-Rest-of-Us]

1:38 It’s not W/h (“watt per hour”), it’s Wh (watt x hour)
E.g. If you’re using 50 watts you can run the 100 Wh battery for 2 hours.

[chengcao]

Minor detail, but Watt-Hour is Wh (watt multiplied by hours, essentially the energy it can deliver in total), not W/h (which would mean energy per second per hour...?)

[transistorbrains]

If you’re gonna do more gaming for the full review, please mention whether the game is running via Rosetta or metal. Rosetta is going to have an inherent performance hit, so I think it’s a useful frame of reference to have.

[Frog-kouu]

I agree with Linus on the type-a port, I use a 2019 MacBook Pro and having to use a SD card reader or a HDMI adapter are minor inconveniences compared to how annoying needing a c-to-a adapter is.

[TheMpoMan]

"I wouldn't try gaming on a trackpad."

I actually beat Borderlands on a trackpad cuz I used to play it in the back of the class, but a mouse would have made it obvious. And now for some reason I'm incapable of playing that game with a mouse. Any other shooter I can play fine with a mouse, but something in my brain breaks when I try to play Borderlands with a mouse now.

[mr_meanr]

On a practical note, I like that you can move behind the notch. Baring in mind that this is not a touch screen device, being able to move the mouse from the global menu to the notification area without hitting a barrier I think would remove the potential frustration of getting stuck on the notch

[im_skrunkly]

1:30
I swear this should be classified as a horror movie STOP, YOU’RE GONNA DROP IT

[SimonVideo]

I think it would be nice to have some gaming focused videos in 60fps. Even if the A-Roll is 30, the actual game would be better in 60.

[Neoxon]

You can legitimately tell how excited Linus is for this. Hell, even Andy’s excited.

[JohnFerrier]

FYI, y'all messed the units up at 1:40. A Watt-hour is labeled as Wh, not W/h. Watts per hour would signify an acceleration in energy usage. Watt-hours is a unit of energy. In this case, how much energy can be stored in the battery. So, a 100Wh battery can put off 100W over 1 hour or it can put off 20W over 5 hours.

[Piketom]

Apple Silicon is ushering in an era where the regular, base 13" MacBook is not just the one that you buy when you can't afford the pro machine. It is the one you buy when you don't need the pro machine.

[Scitch]

1 minute and 25 seconds of actual GAMING content in a video that is titled "Of course, I GAMED on the M1 Max!".
Like holy hell guys i know you like clickbaiting titles but not even ONE AND A HALF MINUTES of the actual topic of the video?!?

[iggysixx]

Fun fact; this 'ideal aspect ratio' of 16:10 has been the standard on the 15" Macbook Pros from 2008 onward (not sure about the ones before the 'unibody' design)

[chantzgaming]

2:03 the reflections from the mousepad onto the macbook look so nice

[backslashio]

Linus: "Yes, this Macbook meets my daily flipping requirements"
