The main problem is that you need windows for directX and most 3d graphic engines depend on directX. OpenGL is a free alternative,
ElBakko
and while many games have a OpenGL mode most dont. Of course you can emulate stuff on unix/macos to run directX games (like wine on linux)

For now, maybe, but it's not future-proof. Plus, gaming aside I prefer a *nixy OS, and Mac OS blends convenience with a UNIX underbelly.

Why does she have to react to anything? She is just an actor in a shitty commercial. Leave her out of it, ask how apple has reacted.

Nobody said she "has" to react. Could be interesting if she did though. Many actors do.

How about leave her out of it she didn't do anything wrong fuckhead why does everyone target the little girl she just did what she was told

No one is necessarily targeting maliciously. E.g. the kazoo boys reaction to the kazoo videos was great and fun for all.
DadddyWarlord
Well I dont get mad at me. the commercial makes it look like shes 15 and then at one point, 25.

LyraTheLycan
At first glance it may seem stupid, but given its sleek looks and the claim that the battery lasts two months, I don't think it's that bad.
ElynaerDeiros
The battery lasts two months if you use it for like an hour a day. Plus that battery will just get worse over time.

If you value form over function knock yourself out. But be aware that the '2 month' battery claim is fantasy talk, with standard usage.

Howmanyusernamesarealreadytakenthisisinsane
I think it just looks like one, but is actually two. Not 100% sure though
BarretXIII
it's two, but because the plastic body has no splits or cuts to separate the buttons, it;s finicky to get a right click
tablecat
I just click at the right side of the mouse. Works 10/10 times.
BikerDykeFromMars
Feels clunky as hell, as does the tiny scroll ball & the side buttons that give little to no feedback
Snarkoleptic
That hasn't been a thing since the 90s. The Magic Mouse has multitouch: left and right clicks, one, two, and three finger swipes. It's ace.
BikerDykeFromMars
But it's wireless & you can't use it while you charge because the port is on the bottom
Snarkoleptic
Yeah that is stupid. I have the previous version that uses AA batteries. It works perfectly.
Snarkoleptic
I use a lot of this functionality, and it's more powerful than anything else out there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHnQpWLVFx4
CamelSpotter
They right click like normal and hope that the mouse read the click properly. The mechanism is still there, there's just no clear button.
aPokal
So it's a touchpad? I think i saw mouses directly from microsoft with that.
WashOutPfaffenbach
The 1st mouse only had 1 function, in the dark old mac time
Shewy92
That sounds unnecessarily stupid.
tablecat
While I hate the magic mouse, right-clicking is not a problem at all. The shape of it is fucking retarded, though.
Snarkoleptic
It is if you just need two buttons. However, it can do all of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHnQpWLVFx4
SerialKitten666
The only difference is no physical button. Who can't grasp that you right click on the right side of a mouse? It makes 0 diff for usage..
Vendan
if you have 2 fingers on the top, like a normal mouse, you have to lift the left finger so it's not touching when you right click. (1/2)
Rantaf
Nah, man. You don’t need visible buttons as long as it responds correctly. Also, you can make it so that clicking with both fingers is right
Vendan
It doesn't respond correctly though.
shtposting10101
Or you could just have a clearly defined left click and a clearly defined right click?
LivingDecomposition
But looks sleek so it doesn't have to be functional whatsoever
EveryoneDownVotesMyEverything
It's not. The mouse is gesture enabled which works really well in macOS, if the ergonomics were better it would be the perfect input device.
tournier
But it works great

If you need to own a Mac you can always have Windows on it as well. Cheaper than buying a second machine for Windows only software.

I once made a 2D game with simple sprites and a maze and levels, in college on a Mac. FPS dropped once I had over 20 sprites.
ElBakko
dont underestimate sprites. people think that "just 2d" cant take up much hardware because its old. But actually it eats up grahpic memory
ElBakko
like nothing else, and if you want high quality sprites you have to be extremly careful so that you dont run out of vram.

It may, if something like OpenGL or Vulkan becomes popular. Windows is currently winning (in majority) not because of hardware, but because

Direct X doesn't work on Mac (because it's developed by Microsoft), and most game developers design their games for it. This leads to really

Expensive ports for games, and/or higher base development cost for Mac/Linux in the first place.

It’s almost like macs aren’t primarily marketed as gaming rigs haha
AStegosaurus
Mac marketing is weird. They act like it's cool, but you are buying a computer. "WANNA BE SLIGHTLY COOLER, NERD?!" -Apple, probably.
wehadtodrinkourwayout
That's the best slogan for Apple I've ever heard..
AStegosaurus
If they had just come out and said it ironically like that, it would be amazing.

What
AStegosaurus
Computers are nerdy. Apple pretends to be cool. Apple sells computers. People who buy Apple products are not cool.

Oh man, you should've told me this before I bought my MacBook Air to play Crysis ):
BaaadGuyEviiilGuy
Fuckin crisis... that was the first FPS, not strategy game i bought for PC. It was also the last.
rusrsdude
This is why you research games and rigs before buying. And don't just rely on one site, use about 5 different ones at least.
Krakencrotch
Because the computer burned down?
Namotatop
A portable device can never have more performance than a stationary device bearing the same technology, as it is bound to be compromised.

Laptops that aren't MacBooks can play games as well, and they're of very similar technology.

But a PC will still be stronger. Even if you the strongest weapon, more of that weapon will always be stronger, still.

Truth ^^

Oh. *have

Then why not buy a regular PC in the first place?
UncleVinny
Brand loyality. I've had to learn the OSX environment for work because some people I support are spoiled rotten and get what they want.
Rantaf
Also, and hear me out here, macOS is better at some things, while Windows is better at other things. Having the option for Windows on Mac
Rantaf
Is a good thing and should be seen as a plus.
UncleVinny
As an IT guy in a Windows Enterprise environment, I've had to setup an iMac to dual boot OSX and Windows 10 and fix problems with it.
ACabbageFromSpace
You have my sympathy
TinnyOctopus
That's just having a PC with extra steps!
UncleVinny
A Mac is a personal computer...
Heroasteral
You know what PC stands for right?
UncleVinny
PC means personal computer. Meaning a computer system that is used by one person at a time in a business, school, or at home. Right?

As a selling point for an iPad. Besides, millennials are dumb as shit. Don't trust anything a millennial says.

How personal can a computer be if it's closed ended?
UncleVinny
Can you elaborate how it's a closed ended started? Does a closed ended system allow you to install an alternate operation System natively?
drumstix101
Im gonna have to agree with you on that one, everyone is just an apple hater.. the specs on a mac arent great, but they're by no means bad
Aceh0le87
as far as ways to spend $3000 for $900 of components with shit software support, they're right up there. =\
UncleVinny
*cough* Sony *cough*
Aceh0le87
problem isn't with consoles overcharging with hardware,its for their software costing so much,their interface being shit, and being the suck
UncleVinny
The argument here isn't about the cost, it's about functionality. Let's try to stay on track here.
ThisIsCanadaWinterIsAlwaysComing
My laptop blows any MacBook out of the water for a fraction of the cost. That's the track everybody is staying on here.
Aceh0le87
yeah as i said their functionality sucks too.
DarkUranium
Don't forget the fact that you can't even upgrade some of it, while you can with non-macs. I'm talking soldered-in RAM (and now SSDs) & such
Aceh0le87
lol wat in the fuuuuuuuuck
