Sid Meier’s Civilization VI runs at 46 fps on the M1 Pro (at. However, our tests reveal some surprising numbers. A further problem is that the CPU is not very power efficient and is easily driven into profound thermal throttling. Gaming is one of the areas we expected the 2021 MacBook Pros to really shine.
This machine is coming to the end of its life as the GPU is inadequate for the demands I'm placing on it: 4GB of VRAM isn't enough and it struggles with modern AI-based software on top of the demands of driving two 4K screens. I bought the machine with a 1TB SSD and added the 2TB SSD into the second internal slot. I currently use a 4-year-old laptop (6 core 8th generation Intel, nVidia Quadro P1000 GPU) with 32GB of RAM, internal 1TB and 2TB SSDs, plus Thunderbolt 3 support. Saving a bit of money now could be a false economy if it forces early hardware replacement.Īpple's crazy pricing for RAM and storage upgrades is one reason why I've stayed on Windows. 8GB RAM is what I would regard as a bare minimum for LrC and modest Photoshop now. I should add that I shoot with a Canon R5 - cRAW files. Alternatively looking at 2019/2020 MacBook pros with 8gb ram and either 256 or 512hd.
Wondering if an M1 MacBook Air with 8gb of ram and 256ssd would be enough. Even if they stick with the same camera(s), software becomes increasingly demanding on hardware over time. Because this won’t be my main computer I’m hoping to save a bit of on the laptop. Quite apart from these concerns, OP also needs to consider the demands they will be making of the hardware in 2-3 years' time.
