I am getting a MacBook for work reason (my work required MacOS-only app, not my choice). I would prefer to only have 1 laptop if I could. So should I pay extra for higher model (more GPU cores) and use it for gaming? (I Mostly play racing game and single player RPG). Or would I better off by getting the base model MacBook pro, and a mediocre PC with the money left over (~$700)?

I've never owned nor used MacOS before.

Thanks.

Gaming on Mac is a bit of a new territory. You can install Linux on modern Macs through Asahi Linux, but most games don't work on it yet since it's still somewhat experimental.

If you want to stick with MacOS, there's a sort of Proton for it called Game Porting Toolkit. You may want to look at some benchmarks on it.
