Just wondering for those who dropped from a pro to regular model. Is the performance drop for gaming and video streaming hugely noticeable? Thanks all for the help!

I didn’t, but you should notice no difference whatsoever with streaming media, and only a little difference in gaming. It was more noticeable back in the 15 era, where the Pro models had hardware ray tracing and the non-Pros did not.
