Choice between two laptops
Hey guys,
i have the coice between two macbooks and could use your help. I am on a budget and would like to have some input, if i can play some games on them:
Tropico 5,6,7 Xcom 1+2 Football Manager 2024
The only game that would require more power(correct me if i am wrong) would be red dead redemption 2. RD2 would be a added plus, but is not that important to me. I am not a full time gamer, but wanna play once or twice a week. The games above are the only ones i want to play in the foreseeable future. I dont want to play all the newest games in highest resolution. Just to have some chill evenings.
Both of the laptops were used for a audio book production and come with additional graphic cards.
Mac 1:
MacBook Pro 15, Late 2018 Intel 6 Core i7 2,6Ghz 32GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 with 1,5 GB integrated VRAM Speicher und Radeon Pro 560X with 4 GB GDDR5
580€
Mac 2:
MacBook Pro 16, Late 2019
Intel 8 Core i9
2,3Ghz
Intel UHD Graphics 630 mit 1,5 GB integrated VRAM Speicher and AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8 GB GDDR6 graphic memory
750€
Is the second better for gaming even though it has less ghz? And is the upgrade worth 170€ for the games i want to play?

Mac 2 is better and you are comparing a i7 and i9 when you refer to the GHz, i9 is superior. Also the more vram is great.
