Going to college in the spring to get my bachelor’s in computer science. Obviously need a laptop. So this is obviously my best choice. I was thinking about a 14” M2 max pro. But it’s pretty pricey and I don’t know if it’s worth it. It also apparently throttles. Any suggestions? I like gaming too so it’s be nice if I could do that well.

What you are looking for is probably not a Macbook.

You may have to use stuff during uni that's hard or impossible to set up on an ARM device. Also if you want to play games Mac is just a terrible option.

Buy something in the same price range with an x86 CPU and a dedicated GPU.
