A list of the best Mac's for TF2
Hello, so as you may know alot of Mac's are pretty crud for gaming, enspecially TF2, but there is a few that are good and run really good. I am going by this list of price, age, and also avaibility. So here we god.

5: Any MacBook Pro from 2012 to 2015. The reason on the 2012 is because you can upgrade the hell out of the older MacBook Pro's. Also the Retina MacBook Pro' s actually run pretty good with TF2 as I used the 2015 base model MB Pro. It ran a good 40 to 80 FPS, and also it had some good audio to it. Moving on. the prices for these range from 200$ to 500$

4: Mac Mini's from 2009 to 2012. These models have decent processors and what not, but also you can upgrade them to a hell ton. They also dont take up much room and what not. Thats about the only brightside of them really. Ok moving on. The prices for these range from 50$ to 300$

3: The legendary 2008 MacBook - This model is so upgradable and you can also improve the processor and what not. And also a great keyboard. The keyboard can be customizeable and what not, but it feels really good! Ok from that moving on ---> The prices of these bad boys range from 150$ to 250$

2: The God level 2009 Mac Pro - This thing can be upgradable and also the base and the mid moddle has a 32 GB of ram! And also 256 GB of memory if your lucky. It also has a large amount of ports and also it isnt that loud. Its limited to El Capitan but it runs it like a pro! The prices for these are really cheap starting (prefered price) at 250$.

1: The one, the only, Imac Mid models from 2010 to 2014! These bad boys can run TF2 really good and the iMac I use is the 2014 mid model that has 8 GB of ram, and 2 TB of Memory! I get a good TF2 FPS from around 90 FPS to 200! And the bright side of these machines they last forever, they get updates from apple and what not, and even, if you bring one to fix at an Apple store, they actually can repair (if you have a broken model) for cheap! The average price for these units is 150$ to 500$! its cheap for a machine that will pretty much last forever!

So Thank you for reading this list if you did, this took me a while to make. Thank you for breading my boyo's!

Also heres a good side note: Do NOT go to eBay to buy these mac's, if you find a good deal and have the money buy it. The d*ck heads who seal 250$ for some Water Boarded peice of sh*t for 250$ just report them. I had great luck with Craigslist and Offerup. So theres a good side note.

Mac Minis would overheat more easily, if I'm not wrong.

I've used a 2011 iMac and got over 3k hours on TF2 on it. It died from overheating or something. Now I know that Macs suck compared to gaming PCs when it comes to gaming. It's obvious, but true. Sometimes, it took up to 3 minutes just to load the TF2 title screen.

I literally couldn't finish the halloween contracts in time because, when they were available, my Mac started getting "black screens." Basically, your entire computer crashes and you have to unplug and replug to turn it on again. (Then it takes 2 years to boot up again.) Eventually, it just died alltogether.

I couldn't get a hud on my Mac because of how much of a pain it was to do so. The FPS was okay, it was somewhere around 50-90 on average, but always dropped to like 10 when a spy uncloaked sometimes, which was actually pretty unfair. I literally COULD NOT play sniper at all, by the way. The apple magic mouse is really hard to work with when trying to get headshots.

Now that I think about it, it wasn't that bad at all. It did a pretty good job. But, of course, Macs have lots of flaws.

You mean: an overpriced and underpowered machine sold at an high price just because there are still some idiots called "fanboys" that will buy it despite it beign a scam?

So reason I use Mac is because I gew up with Apple Computers so I have a good reason, and also I am familiar with Mac and what not, so don't give me the "just use the PC blah".

You still can't refute the argument that a PC has a better bang for buck
Yea, I like upgrading the ♥♥♥♥ out of window PC's and then selling them 30% more and get a real bang for the buck. ^

I'm not sure why people are saying PC and treating it as if Macs aren't PCs either.
