Pick M3 MacBook Pro Instead of Steam Deck OLED： Here's Why

He compares a $1,700 M3 MacBook Pro with a $500–$600 Steam Deck OLED, favoring its screen, keyboard, speakers, portability, and productivity. About one-third of his Steam library runs on macOS; Counter-Strike reaches roughly 80 FPS, while Total War manages 30–40 FPS. Gaming generates heat and fan noise; Safari, Discord, and games consumed 15GB, including 8GB swap, causing several crashes.

Real-world memory limits and crashes complicate his claim that the MacBook is unequivocally superior for gaming.
