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?

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
