35W base TDP with a max of 106W for the i7-13700T is pretty exciting :)

Quoting: ExpandingManThis is very surprising to me, even though of course I personally really can't understand why anyone would choose mac over linux these days. It also seems pretty ridiculous that corporate IT departments which are probably constantly being asked not to waste money waste tons of money on macs which are both much more expensive and a lot harder to maintain (at least for the IT department itself, I'm sure apple makes all sorts of promises to counteract this).

Where I work I'm seemingly the only one who uses linux, and frankly if they told me I couldn't anymore I'd probably immediately quit. Life is too short to spend 8 hours a day dealing with apple's shit.

Aside of what @serge has said, there are other things that are also important as to why choosing macOS over Linux. Integration with Microsoft 365 products, from Teams to Outlook, integration with company's directory, including the ability to wipe the device if lost/stolen, deployment of GPO's via Endpoint, integration of SSO... Granted, all this might be different if the company I'm at didn't use M365 or Azure AD.

However, not related to the above, for me there is also another point to not allow people to use Windows, mac AND Linux... and it's basically because IT would need to support them all. Reducing differences in hardware and software makes IT departments run smoother.

The battery life being the biggest gripe people seem to talk about would hopefully get wiped off the table. Having it a bit lighter somehow would be another great bit to focus on, to prevent that hand / wrist strain from longer sessions.

Battery mileage really depends on the games. I got over 6h playing Pentiment. Of course, it would be great to have that on God of War too, but we can't ask the apple tree to give us chestnuts :grin:

Seems like you forgot to switch your link to public. It's private by default.

I did, indeed! It should be visible now :)

If you have time, I can't recommend Pentiment enough. What a beautifully done game, its narrative display, historical accuracy, as well as plot and gameplay, are in my top 3 games this year for sure.

We still need the obligatory 2023 predictions and wish-list!

Something that it would be a lot of fun is to have GOL's community game of the year edition. Something like voting for the best RPG, adventure, platforming, best for Steam Deck, open source, etc Linux native games of the year, so Liam could create some content based on the top three of each category or something like that.

Thanks to Liam for all the effort he puts in every day of the year to make this site my number 1 go-to for Gaming/Linux related news, and thanks to the rest for making these forums and comments' site a pleasant and fun experience.

Happy festive season for everyone!

I think I might fall for God of War, Norco and Roadwarden.

I'd love a Steam Controller 2, particularly since my first iteration is on its last legs...
