Very impressive with only 8GB of shared RAM, no fan, and going through an ARM to X86 coding translator. With that said, get 16GB of RAM always.

i realize that it’s easier said than done, but i think it would be much more productive to compare the generations within the same spec (8 core M1 vs 10 core M2 vs 10 core M3)

Finally, real hardware people use, not these 3K$ configurations. Thank you!

This is exactly what i was looking for!! Thank you so much. Please do more games comparisons on the base macbook air!

my real concern as a sim racing fan boy is that we can't have force feedback on steering wheels... and this is a pity because on m3 max performances seem good on these games

Glad I picked up the Air 15 with 16GB and 10GPU cores….

Please don't buy an air for gaming. The throtteling is real and actually really hard if it's getting hot outside. It's more than 20%. Who is playing for 50 minutes? Thats my warmup. A session lasts 4-8 hours. You need the active cooling to keep playing with okay framerates. Great machines though - i love the apple silicon design!

For thermals on the m1MBA, I added some thermal pads over the SOC so that the pads connect the SOC to the bottom aluminum plate. This way the heat comes right off the cpu straight to the outside of the case. Then I added a cheap laptop cooling fan pad and now I get m1 MacBook pro levels of performance

Can you make a video regarding running games from epic games launcher on mac and fixing errors..? There are lots of people got hundreds of paid games but can’t play cause of errors

ANONYMOUS.

Please compare the MacBook Air’s when connected to an external monitor

So an air with 16 fb is the way to go. Starting from m2 and up. Got it. As some one who light games and mainly plays on the switch or phone airs are enough
