The current Pro 15 has some solid capabilities, including a huge 2TB SSD and 24GB of RAM built in. It also comes with a GeForce RTX 3050, which should skate through most modern games (not at the highest settings, but at decent settings).

It has a beautiful 1920 x 1080 OLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and a respectable 400 nits of brightness. Expect intricate dynamics, good brightness, and smooth screen refreshes while gaming.
