Why game in Windows when you can anyway with a fanless M1 MacBook?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

There's been plenty of great Prime Day deals for MacBooks this year, and you may be tempted to upgrade your existing Mac to one of the M1 models.

Even though Windows 11 is rumored to be on the horizon, these deals may be good enough to make you switch to Apple's macOS operating system instead.

With the M1 chip designed by Apple, it's designed to be a workhorse but with low voltage and a long-lasting battery. With games, there have been some surprising results, even with its emulation app, called Rosetta. This translates to a game that runs on Intel Macs, onto M1 Macs. You can easily play Shadow of the Tomb Raider for example, with almost no slowdown on medium settings.

For example, the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with a 256GB SSD, which is our pick
as the best laptop in the world right now, has had a hefty price cut of 106, and is now just 893 at Amazon .

Thanks to a recent macOS update, you can use your Xbox or PS5 controller with your Mac, saving you the trouble of trying to game on the trackpad and keyboard. You can definitely play games on a Mac with ease, and with the
deals below, you can have a great gaming machine on the Mac, with a great controller to boot.
