This is wrong. MacBook even 2015 it is underrated by most ppl who do not own one or just simply looking at the paper spec alone. Light gaming tile like cs2go, dota 2 are totally playable on MacBook no matter 2015 or 2016. 2016 will play it even smoother.

And this refers to the base m3 1.1GHz Model too. Even m3 model alone since 2015 is a more than capable machine for most people. If u picked the latest m5 or m7 2015, base on the benchmark, they even exceeded the power on 2015 macbook

Core m mobile is never meant to be cheap or low power processor like what u can find in the netbook last time that uses atom processor.

It is meant to be the same capable processor that is on par with i3 or i5 but that are made to be small so that it consumes least amount of power and fanless so that they can be used for premium light laptop like MacBook Air 13-inch.

So assuming the 1.1GHz M3 model should be able to handle Adobe Photoshop and games like Football Manager right? Looking to switch to MacBook for its size and weight, miles ahead of my current MBP13.
