Mac was never made for gaming, and if it runs games it doesnt mean you should buy it for that, Macs are made for professional uses, such as music producing, students, photo editing ect. personally i use them for music producing.
This computer is a beast for students and professionals who need silence, portability, and battery life, all for an affordable price. I have both this model and a gaming computer as well and you cannot take the gaming laptop out for more than 1 hour without it dying. My opinion is that this computer is perfectly designed to fit the needs of the market share it satisfies and tbh if you need performance you should get a windows desktop with a decent graphics card because from my experience gaming laptops suck.
I get the spinning rainbow wait cursor even when I’m just trying to watch Disney plus on mine 🤦♀️. If I could turn back time I never would’ve bought this laptop. Don’t waste your money on these!
I just bought the m1 Air for school and Thing is hell of a beast! I returned my new ASUS laptop because the battery life is crap and sometimes it’s laggy on adobe programs. Don’t buy the M2 or M3 if you want to save money just get the M1.
Personally these aren’t massive problems. The ports aren’t an issue, I can just have a nice dock at my desk, which for me is better than having everything attached to the laptop directly because it’s only one cable. I also don’t mind only having one display output. Having the internal display and 1 external is plenty for me. And as for gaming, we’ll I don’t really game so idc
Honestly, I didn't really care about games when buying my laptop, I wanted long battery and for it to be silent because I'm super sensitive to sound. In my case I got the M2 one because its efficiency cores are way faster than the M1's. Surprisingly the IPC of that CPU's cores is so high it sometimes beats my Ryzen 7 3700X that draws 50W instead of 5W for the same job.
I bought myself an M2 Air, but I’ve had to also buy myself a gaming PC for at home, the Air can only be a portable machine since macOS isn’t daily driver ready for me and game support is non existent. Plus the STUTTERING in the UI
I went from a mid 2015 MacBook Pro to this just because I wanted a decent video editing/streaming laptop for as low a price as I could get. The only thing I really miss is the abundance of ports. The extendo is on the way though. 🤘🏽
Those sound like your personal issues. Mac isn’t for gaming to begin with. Work wise this is a beast, depending on what your work is.

Nothing wrong with my MacBook, because I bought the right one fitting my needs and tasks 🤷♂️

MacBook Air is the best laptop for Roblox period.
Lots of software are not support in m2
the dfu configurator to format macOS…that should be at least enabled by logging in icloud

Just get a dock with display link. Thank will solve the port issue and the multiple monitor issue. E.g plugable
I have a MB Air and none of these you mentioned are "issues" to me.

Just the two ports are my issue. Been using mine since 2020 and it’s my daily driver for after effects animations, large page layouts and photoshop.

if I hear one more person complain about the Mac lacking in the gaming department I’m gonna snap.
That " really ! " 😂
It’s a known fact that you don’t get a Mac for gaming. I can agree with you on the other issues.
