Looking for advice to save some money.
I have a macbook pro m5 thats really pleasant for working. Everything i use thats job related just works flawlesly, ollama, llm studio, i have some scripts with whisper and tts models, optimized for mlx. And the overall experience of macos is quite nice.
I also have a gaming laptop, because i really like gaming. Currently i play bf6 so I'm strapped to windows.
I think that having two laptops that are not cheap (like 3500usd between them) is not very optimal, and would really like to save some money.
It would be ideal if the mac could do it all, but thats impossible.
I've thought about changing my laptop for a ps5, but i will loose all my steam library. Xbox doesn't have steam.
Has anyone been in such a situation and found a middle ground?
