Everyone who's tried playing games on their Macbook will notice that it's probably not a good idea. The graphics in a Macbook are very weak and therefore, can't handle most of the games today. They're generally used for basic computer browsing and school because of its simple design. Most people would just build a gaming pc and separate gaming from work. Now, what if we're interested in doing both? Lucky for us, when there is a will, there is a way. The newer Macbooks these days support Thunderbolt 3. What that means is, your Macbook can handle the fastest port available on computers today. This Thunderbolt 3 is a USB-C port and can be connected to one of the Macbook ports. A gaming pc would usually have a case that stores everything a computer needs in order to work. A Macbook already has the essentials except for a GPU. A Thunderbolt 3 can be connected to an external GPU and be used as a graphics card for a Macbook. That's basically how a Macbook can be used for games. For the setup, you're going to need a power supply that's 600W or more and a graphics card with a USB-C port. Connect the power supply to the graphics card and the Thunderbolt 3 port to the graphics card. The last step is to just connect the other end of the port to your Macbook. Your computer will be able see the connection and use the external GPU as your graphics instead of the Intel graphics. Your Macbook that isn't so great at gaming is now ready for some games.
