Well, if you include phones and tablets, probably them.

If not, then a chromebook (If you don't install Windows anyway :P)

I don't actually use macs, I was just saying.

 

Literally everyone hates Macs/Macbooks for games.

When using a mac for a college art course I took I found the mouse movement to be extremely clunky and awkward. That would make FPS games terrible for me and that's most of what I play.

A macbook.

Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

Mobile devices like phones and tablets are idiotic for gaming, they only work for point and clicks or very rudimentary games (cow clickers, endless running, tower defense, etc). Don't know if any of you have tried to play FPS's on a phone, but man it's horrible, completely virtual movement and shooting just ruins everything.

Probably cellphones.  Small screens, huge battery drain, limited controls, very similar game library.  Worst of the "gaming class" probably an all-in-one, they are typically not made to game on and also very often not upgrade-able.  Mac is not a great gaming system too, honestly, not because they are "overpriced, or bad" or anything, but just because their game library is not as large as on PC.

Well that depends on what you mean by "play video games". Any computer can play video games. Even macs. People seem to discredit the latest iMacs as being uncapable of playing games well. They run windows better then other computers run windows.. just saying. 

 

But in general, avoid AIOs, laptops (even the gaming ones), and lower end prebuilt desktops. The best way to go is a custom built machine, even a cheap one is better then most prebuilts.. 

I am whatever I am.
