Can someone with knowledge explain to me how performance and resolution impact one another? I was under the impression that A 1080p screen will be significantly less resource intensive compared to a 4k one. I think I may be wrong though so I am hoping someone can explain to me.

To give you an idea of where I am right now, I was trying to decide screen size as my current 2k 27inch screen (An LG Linus raved about) barely look better to me than my smaller 1080 screen. I was thinking with a smaller screen size, I may prefer the better performance.

Thoughts?

Lower res screen=more fps, so some fps and other games may go for 1080P but 240Hz/360Hz screens. 4K screen=more details but need more hardware resources, QHD is between the two. Really depends on what you are looking for.

To me color gamut matters more than simple resolution or refresh rate.

As for your 27 2K vs smaller 1080P, I suspect they have similar pixel density so the 2K screen is bigger but doesn't look sharper, due to size of the pixels.

I have 1 day left and I'm keeping my eye out for a better deal as I'm not sure if $1800 is worth extra vram (16gb) not going to be 4k gaming with this laptop anyways so it seems redundant to have the extra vram for my use case. wouldn't mind having 12th gen Intel and ddr5 for the price.

This or the new MBA M2?

OS aside, does the M1/M2 chip provide good/decent gaming experience ?

Theoretically it does. The problem is that MacOS still has a very limited gaming library. Hopefully developers will start taking advantage of that hardware.

If you are trying to play desktop class games then not really while it's powerful it still can't match a gpu

It's 240hz though. Very few laptops are 240hz and 1440p combined.

Would be a good price if it had a 1440p screen and a full power 165W/16GB RTX3080 (instead of 130W/8GB).

But as it is, not a good deal.

This question is like asking "should I get a boat or a dune buggy?"
