It is time to talk about the poor performance of Roblox graphics on the Apple macOS platform. Roblox on Mac looks fuzzy like a Bethesda game port on a Nintendo Switch. Roblox is by far one of the more populated games that can be played on an Apple computer and I played Jailbreak and Phantom Forces for a long time on a Macbook Pro. Roblox consumes far too ample resources for a 2013-2015 Macbook Air or rMBP. Best Buy computers that sell for less than 500 dollars can play Roblox with an average amount of difficulty. Roblox graphics on MacOS look bad even on Apple Store rMBPs with Dedicated Graphics, Sad!
Because my family spent $800 on a 2014 Macbook Pro off Amazon, I had to put up with the fuzzy graphics while playing Roblox. My eyes were slowly getting trained into tolerating the subprime Roblox graphics. When I received my Mac, I became frustrated to see that it had only 128GB of memory, and I had only 40GBs left after installing some Adobe and Word. I even took it into a shop to get the cooling paste replaced. I became infinitely patient for the next Holiday, Christmas 2018.
Sadly, I wasn't wise enough to realize that the reason Roblox ran so poorly on my Mac was that it had 4th gen Intel CPU and integrated graphics. On a December night, I asked my parents if it is possible to get a brand new 256GB Macbook Pro. I said the right things like "This new Mac would come with even better virus protection" or "This new Mac comes with butterfly keyboards which will help me perform better on essays" (It actually did). I chose a 13-inch because the 15-inch Macbooks were far too expensive for my parents to afford. What my parents concluded is that it was time to sell the Macbook Pro for an even higher price, $1,200, and to only spend $600 more to get me that perfect Mac.
I booted up the Mac and instantly installed Roblox. Much to my discontent, I loaded up Phantom Forces only to see gosh-awful graphics blind me once again. I have had enough even after installing Roblox on Bootcamp. I got so angry that day I considered selling it on eBay. However, when I got back to school in January, I was content to see that the teacher sent out an AP essay for the class. I took out my Mac, I felt the brand new butterfly keyboard, and I was speeding through the piece. Other classmates were lagging behind trying hard to get on the internet. I enjoyed a smooth typing experience even though the keys felt more like typing on an iPad than a chicklet laptop computer.
When going to the Apple Store today, the newest Radeon 555X 15-inch Macbook Pro's can play at maximum graphics, but it still looks relatively fuzzy. The iMac Pro in the Apple Store can play games like Geo-FS and a whole assortment of online web games. Still, the iMac Pro in the store made a considerable amount of fan noise when I was playing Roblox. Not to mention the airplane jet takeoff noise my 2018 Macbook Pro makes when I load up games like Roblox High School or Adopt Me. I remember even using 15-inch Macbook in the Apple Store, and its fans were loud just like my 13-inch Macbook Pro at home.
The whole time I was about 18 and in my Junior year. Time was closing in on getting networks and contacts to link me up with colleges. Nevertheless, I still stayed with my Macbook even though Roblox still has yet to release an update to fix their graphics. I continued my path of studying literature, and I tried my best applying for high school college classes over the summer break. My 2018 256GB 13-inch Macbook Pro has been a blessing and a curse. I sought to seek perfection by expecting more, and I was left with the rubbles of a Robloxian dream.
