- How does the M1 Air handle casual gaming? I had a 2011 mini and it struggled playing Cuphead, Tropico 4, and The Sims 4. Maybe some Lego games. Yeah, I know it was a 10 year old Mac. But I guess I’m worried if I would have issues since the Air doesn’t have active cooling.

Sims 4 M1 Macbook Air Review
device | playable | environment | api | fps | resolution | settings | notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
💻 M1: MacBook Pro 13' 8GB | yes | Rosetta 2 | 2560 × 1600 | Medium settings | Runs at high settings for 1 hour with an average temperature of 40.1° (fan-less). Smooth gaming experience compared to when using MacBook Pro 13' w Touch bar (mid-2017), but travelling to different places might suddenly slow down the loading process which eventually returns to normal or faster. Note that it might crash from time to time (see notes) Gameplay about 2 hours, crashes 3 times which makes the computer non-responsive. Force shut down the computer or wait for the computer to come back (takes a few minutes). | Origin | ||
