I don't want to play these AAA titles with low graphics settings, I want 4K and ultra graphics settings. But I don't want to throw away my money to build another desktop computer either, I'm fed up of desktop computers. My definition of playable does not mean being able to play a game on low graphics settings. It's like buying a Ford Mustang GT500 to drive at 40 kph when you know that this car can reach more than 250 kph.

Current high end graphics card required by AAA titles to give 4K ultra graphics quality are so expensive for me to even reconsider building another desktop pc, no matter how good a game can be. They cost more than half of a budget for a desktop computer here in Brazil. Hence why I gave up on this and resorted to playing old games on my laptop for nostalgia and even more fun than I'd have headaches building a desktop computer.

Man, your comments are completely absurd; "I don't play new games because I DEMAND 4K on ULTRA settings for CHEAP, so instead I play Flight Simulator 98 and buy overpriced Mac laptops". You can't make this shit up.
Your comment is the kind of comment that comes from absurd people and that doesn't even deserve a %$*%$*#@ reply. But here you go and that will be the only time I will do so so don't expect me to reply again to you:
Look at where I am posting from. BRAZIL. You have no f*$#ing idea of how expensive the things (especially imported tech) are here, don't you? For that argument alone I could (and should) tell you to shut up. But I'll explain, being a good guy I am:
The graphics cards and every PC part is much more overpriced than any other country. Mainly because of import taxes practiced by our government in the last 13 years. And all that money just to play ONE game. The cost benefit of it is just not worth it so no, I am not building another PC desktop. And yes, I am going to play Flight Simulator 98 because a) is more fun and b) I don't have to bother upgrading a machine or have a headache setting up a dual boot hackintosh, because I use macOS to work as a web designer (but even that part of my work you ignored, right?) and unfortunately need a Windows VM or boot partition to play games.
"I demand 4k and ultra settings for cheap" that was not my argument. My argument was: I demand a BETTER PROGRAMMING so the games can provide 4K and ultra graphics in any platform, be it low or high end requirements. Today's games are POORLY programmed. Take for example Grand Prix 4. It was a game released in 2002. The game has an enormous community and is still going strong with mods for 2020 season that are much better than Codemasters F1 2020. And for a $#*%$ cheap cost, almost free. I'd be an idiot if I weren't considering that instead of buying F1 2020.
"... and buy overpriced Mac laptops"
If you were reading well my posts instead of being an idiot trying to look like an awesome arrogant prick, you'd realize that I mentioned to have bought a second-hand 2013 rMBP 13-inch, (emphasis on SECOND HAND) not the latest powerful Mac for a much more cheaper price. That Mac had two blown speakers, a few keyboard issues and required a new SSD. I upgraded it all, fixed all the issues and now it is just as good as the newer Macs and can even run macOS Big Sur for the years to come. The only reason for me to buy a new mac now is a switch to ARM Macs, but even that decision has a number of factors that need to happen in order to convince me as of now, and so far I am being convinced to do so.
And if you were smart enough you'd realize that even Dell laptops are overpriced too. The best Dell laptops (and "best dell laptops" are a subjective opinion) are on the same price (at least high-end Dell XPS are) as the newer MBPs although they provide a better hardware, they can't run the best operating system ever made - macOS - without any hacking. I can't buy a Dell XPS, and I can't buy the new MBPs, so I bought a second-hand MBP for a very cheap price and restored/upgraded it myself.
Apple is not the only brand in the world being greedy; I am not a fanboy either, for the reasons mentioned above (work and games) I had even resorted to Hackintoshes between 2013-2017 but that move wasn't worth the headache because maintenance of hackintoshes is a nightmare and more expensive than buying a full genuine Mac. I don't agree with the prices Apple practice for their Macs but even Dell does that, so you can't really attack Apple for that when others do the same. Also, with their transition to ARM Macs, I expect them to have better prices because they have to be, to convince people to switch from x86 to ARM. I don't think Apple would be stupid enough to sell an overpriced ARM Mac for that reason.
You get that (expletive word) reply you deserve, for the kind of aggressive comment you made to attack me gratuitously from nowhere and for nothing.
Try to be nice next time instead of acting like a troll, then I'll reply you politely. And oh, that was the last reply you'll get from me. You had a nice attempt at trying to throw a flame war here, but that did not work.
