We benchmarked Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac M1 to M4 — the numbers don’t lie
Playable for those that only own a MacBook but i got a m3 air, and the playability is in the no thanks. (Upgraded recently a base 8/256 m2 to m3 24/512) I love my air, but anything demanding gaming wise is just not worth it. I haven’t compared the settings to my rog ally, running steam os. But from

Is No Man’s Sky playable on a base MacBook Air M3 (8 GB RAM) for exploration and crossplay?
no, the Air is really bad for gaming, it's for light work and traveling and not for demanding tasks even my MacBook Pro M3 struggles with Warcraft 3 ...

I’ve seen issues on my iPhone 16 pro max after ios26. But not on my m3 MBA after Tahoe. Granted my M3 air started becoming “buggy” after 5 months(I got it in February 2025 brand new). And I’m kinda mad that I didn’t know M4 air was being released 2 months after I got the M3 lol. I got the 24GB versi

Was war der letzte "dumme" Kauf, den ihr irgendwie rechtfertigen musstet? :)
MacBook Air M3 neu weil ist ja irgendwie besser als mein gebrauchtes Air M1. Spoiler: ist es nicht. Für Alltagsdinge wie Email und Reddit sind beide genauso gut.

The MacBook Neo beats a $1500 laptop in terms of browser performance!
Oh no, you got 4 points more Now every Windows laptop is useless 😂 Dude, what logic is this even from you? Even a 42 is more than good enough and doesn't make a Windows laptop shit. With your own logic, the MacBook Air M3 is now shit too cause it scored lower than the Windows laptop

M5/Pro/Max MacBooks readily available, all minis and Studios out-of-stock, why do people think there won’t be a refresh until mid-June?
They also skipped the M3 for the Studio and Mini ...for very specific reasons. The new MacBook Air is coming to end Apple's M3 nightmare once and for all | Macworld - https://www.macworld.com/article/2578508/m4-macbook-air-m3-chip-production-cost-yield-imac-mac-studio.html

how well does Sims 4 run on Macbook?
How does it run on the MacBook Air m3 (2024)? Just worried about it heating up like another game I have (Wuthering Waves) which takes up a lot of resources since its very graphics demanding lol
