I disagree about the magsafe. Magsafe is great for the majority of people. If someone trips over their type c/thunderbolt cord the laptop will go flying.

What scares me in the air vs pro is the lack of fan.. any experience with thermal throttling?

Finally someone who can talk normal but lively . Great video ! I have a MacBook Air m2 15 inch and it’s an amazing device. It’s fast and above all quiet. Never played these on them, but looks amazing

Gaming is here for the mac, native games with MetalFX upscaling (Village and No Man's Sky) are insane for a laptop that slim and with mo fan, there's literally nothing else on the market which can do this...

[colonelsanders]

good review thanks for actually showing the games too cant wait to get mine on feb!!!

Moved from PC to Mac for general computing, and from PC gaming to Steam Deck. If Apple can get Dev support, will switch from Steam Deck to Apple for both.

But I couldn’t help but to notice that your face is really 4K quality with great textures and reflection, it’s phenomenal’

Im actually excited for the potential here if apple doesnt let it die as other attempts have.

[ohwhatworld]

It would help if you told us what graphics setting you are using.... Quite fundamental to a gaming performance review.

Should I worry when my Mac warms up? Even playing among us heats up a lot but Minecraft runs totally fine

(Air 15 8 512)

USB-C charging on the air is far slower then magsafe. And as the name suggests, its safer as its not a friction fit, its a magnetic

[XBRoughneck]

Would you play a AAA game for more than an hour? My main concern is heat

[sandersp]

Dont see how can this work for 1-2 hour of gaming, there is no fan in that macbook, throttling will slow it down for sure

[philbln]

Did you play these games on a 16GB Ram model?
And you said, Resident Evil Village made the system warm. That's what bothers me most. The MacBook Air has no vents. Isn't it a bit dangerous to play games like these on it?

[thenubianspeaks]

why would the magsafe go away, That is sort of idiotic. It frees up the only two type C ports on the machine. and it is a much more stable connection. I have never heard anyone complain abou the return of the magsafe connection. weird!

[yogijackson]

Gonna trade in my 2019 MacBook Air and get this

[security]

Thanks mate. Need a new laptop for work and love the idea of silent and good battery life. Do some light gaming
However, you mention great battery life but
What kind of battery life were you getting while gaming?

[jaydee]

I need a new laptop for uni in august and I prefer apple for everything but my gaming laptop is about to go so if I can combine the two it’d be great. I only play WoW but I’ve yet to see someone playing it on the air 15…im afraid of the lack of fans causing it to overheat raiding 😅

[Disorrder]

Are you kidding? There is a new game mod, so you can port almost any dx12 game, it’s much more important than 3 native games 🙄

Bro you can’t talk about fps without showing us the graphic settings
