Is this normal No

My brand new iPhone 15 appears to have a burn in issue Call AppleCare or bring it back to the store

You won’t play BG3 comfortably on a MBA, otherwise it’s a good general purpose laptop.

MBP is more expensive but more powerful and comes with 16Gb of Ram and a much more powerful GPU.

There isn’t a big difference between M1 and M2 on the CPU side, but M2 GPUs are significantly more powerful.

Finally, Pro models have better sound system, 120Hz ProMotion display, and more battery life.

Macs are not good for gaming because it wasn’t delivered with a proper graphic card for years, so game developers left the platform.

Apple silicone Mac are pretty good for gaming now, if compared to similar form-factor PCs. Besides, Macs doesn’t lose any power when unplugged, contrary to PCs.

But the catalog is still lacking. There are good games (BG3, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil Village, Lies Of P, World Of Warcraft if it’s your jam) but nothing merely enough for a true gamer.

You could play Escape From Tarkov on a Mac using virtualizing software like Parallels Desktop, CrossOver or Game Porting Toolkit, but it won’t run natively, and I can’t make any promises on that subject.

You’ll have to do some research if you want to play some games on a Mac.

Otherwise it’s truly the best computer you can get. Not necessarily the most powerful (depends on what you’re doing) but definitely the best user experience.

There’s no way to answer that question without knowing what you want to do with your laptop.

If you want anything but gaming, go for a Mac, especially if you are a musician (every Mac comes with GarageBand, is silent and has crazy battery life). You’ll also find the iWork suite installed for office work. No hidden cost.

For photo editing, built-in Photos app gives a good alternative to Lightroom.

For more advanced stuff you can also buy Affinity Photos or Pixelmator Pro, which are great alternatives to Photoshop, without the cost and the weight on the system

Little built-in apps like Reminders and Notes can be life-changer if you’re in GTD stuff.

The feature that impressed me the most back in the day was preview. Select any file and press the space bar. You’ll get instant preview (whatever the file is) without launching an app.

If you want to game, it depends on the games you play.

Of course we forget how it works.

The whole point of the documentation is to help remembering.

I tried tons of third party apps (Omnifocus, Ulysses, Agenda, Things, Fantastical, Pro Tools…) but always end up using Apple’s stock apps because I love simplicity and I discovered that with my overthinking bad habit, having a good but simple/limited app is more efficient than an overkilled one.
