I will pickup an m4 air next week when I visit the US.
I tried to find videos on YouTube about performances in games during extending play sessions.
I do not buy this for gaming, but my return flight will take 33 hours due to a layover.
So, how will things like baldurs gate 3, and not switch emulation run on it after 2-3 hours of consecutive playing?
Like I said, I probably won’t game on it at all once I’m back home, but 33 hours is a lot of time to kill.
Factorioooooo
I have this game a try and found it overwhelming. The tutorials were fun, but at a certain point, making potions was too stressful.
Yeah I find after a while I just have to refactor by cleaning a new spot and moving stuff

The M4 is a beast. I doubt you’ll have any issues. I would be interested in an update after your trip.
Thanks! I will try to remember to give an update.
I can tell ya that my M4 easily handles lighter games (i.e. Stardew Valley) and my M2 handles medium games like Hollow Knight well.
I’ve played Bladur’s Gate 3 on my M2 with minimal reduction in performance.
Stardew Valley runs perfectly on my iPad from 2018. M series chips shouldn’t even break a swear for that.
How long have you played BG3 consecutively on the m2? The youtube videos I see make it seem like they played for 20 minutes to get a number for their video.
I mean, I’ve played on it for an hour, but I wasn’t constrained by performance over time — I just had other things that needed doin’ lol.
Those will run just fine. If you already have a Steam library, get the Heroic launcher, and install Steam through it. Basically everything i’ve thrown at it so far has worked, within the obvious limitations of Wine
This is my experience as well. It runs Cyberpunk (native) at 144/HDR fine. The M4 is way better than you imagine.
How long have you played these demanding games for? All the youtube videos I see make it seem like they ran a benchmark and then moved on.
Look for native macOS games. There are more than enough of any genre.
I mostly game on my steamdeck, but just curious about how the m4 handles longer game sessions.
It has a fan that’s nearly silent, it doesn’t throttle.

Ohhhh the MacBook. Somehow I missed that. Thought you were talking about the mini. Apologies.
