Devs, Which Of These Two Pc's Would You Pick And Why? by TastyFriedPussy: 7:10pm On Aug 15, 2022
If you had the option to choose between a gaming laptop with 10th gen Intel core I5, 8gb ram(upgradable to 32gb), nvidia gtx 1650 graphics card AND a 2017 macbook pro, which would you choose and why..

I'm not an apple fan, but the only thing that makes me love apple laptops are their sleek designs, apple laptops are just beautifully designed. macbooks just have that professional feeling.

I will definitely go for a 10th gen Core i5 that can be upgradable. Just ensure the hard disk is SSD and the keyboard is good like thinkpads. Battery Life Span is also key then if the screen if 15" , that's a good deal.

Balls lies squarely in your court. Mac book are better for productivity. If you want a laptop to work only then this is a very easy choice go with the MacBook Pro. If you want to be able to unwine small and play games, although 1650 isn't the best but it's fairly capable you can go for the gaming laptop

Pes and FIFA are heavy games oh. Except you want to play the older versions if not don't think it would work on Mac. Even to install it self on Mac na wahala. They are made mainly for Windows

Macs are better optimized for development

With windows you'll have a whole lot of headache setting up environments and the likes...

The gaming PC is more powerful but not optimized for coding. I hope this helps
