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.
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.

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.
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

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.
