Macbook Pro or Gaming Laptop?

[Resistt 0]

 

So,

I just recently purchased a 13.3 inch 2018 MacBook Pro brand new from apple with the following specs: 

• Macbook Pro (13-inch 2017)
• Processor: 2.3 GHz i5
• Memory: 8GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
• Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536mb
• Display: 13.3 inch (2560 x 1600) Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536MB graphics
• Storage: 256GB SSD

I bought this for around $2300 after tax and honestly, i'm loving the laptop so far and the ability to use iMessage through here as I prefer typing or texting any day, but the 13.3 inches is way too small for me, and this MacBook gets hot way too quick and it's really annoying and this laptop costs too much.

 

So, the point of this post is to ask you guys what you think. I'm debating on whether or not keeping this Macbook or returning it and purchasing a brand new gaming laptop for around $1500-$1600 (ex. the acer nitro 5) with specs that exceed my Macbook besides the display. These are the following specs of the gaming laptops that i'm looking at that are hundreds and hundreds of dollars cheaper and have 15 or 17 inch screens which I prefer way more than this 13.3 inch:

• Acer Predator 17.3" 
• Processor: 2.2 GHZ i7
• Memory/Storage: 1TB, 128 GB SSD, 12GB ra
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
• Display: 17.3 inch (1920 x 1080)

The only thing i'd be using either laptop is for school and maybe some RSPS here and there, but keep in mind I already have a gaming desktop computer with nice specs and that the Macbook is $700-800 more than any of my options. Please comment below what you think I should do and why, I could really use your opinions.

If your mac doesn't have Retina display, you shouldn't even bother. I'd go with the cheaper option of any choice you have since all you just want is light gaming(rsps)/school, etc. If you really want a mac, then I suggest any of them with at least a retina display and go from there. If it isn't retina, you're pretty much playing on a windows.

Get rid of the mac.
