Actually MacBook is a good thing the optimization it provides for software's such adobe Photoshop or blender is really awesome and if you want to be an indie game developer you need to learn the basics of character modelling also.next thing is that I have build few games on Pentium processor and you are telling and core i5 is not good actually this is not all about performance you have to also look after your budget

The budget is why I'm telling you about AMD options, but nowadays you need 8Gb RAM for a nice performance when multitasking. Agree with modeling but at the price of a shitty MacBook you can get windows laptops that performs more than twice easily so... 🀷

Then pick the highest model from Asus, Msi or your favourite brand; instead on wasting money on a bitten apple you'll invest it into real performance for any task, and you'll be able to replace some parts if needed instead on having to sell it and buy a new one as happen with Apple due to non-replaceable RAM, M.2 Drive and so...
This way you could also play whatever you want on this laptop, or even using it connected on your TV with a pair of xbox one s controllers and get better performance than a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X πŸ˜‚πŸ€·
