Portable Mac also for occassional gaming

[janec007]

Hello guys, I would like to buy my first portable Mac mainly for normal use, some video editing, creating some graphics on documents and also some occassional gaming (Dota 2, CS:GO, WoW) when I am out of city during weekends. Any experiences/advises?

Macs are not really gaming machines, but I would think a discrete gpu based model would be your best option, so that means a 16" MBP

Either the 16" or the new 13" (the 10-gen CPU). The 16" in particular is a perfectly adequate laptop for a casual gamer, it can run pretty much anything with decent settings and performance.

Actually my first plan was to wait for MBP 13" 2020 as I expected 10th processors also in base version with significantly more powerful iGPU, which would be sufficient for casual gaming. But with their new line up, it does not make any sense to buy 10th 13" when price of 16" with discounts is around 200$ higher unless portability is the most critical thing. Which is not in my case.
