YouTuber ETA Prime has tested PC games on an Apple MacBook Pro with the Apple M4 Max. This was made possible thanks to an ARM64 build of SteamOS running on macOS, courtesy of a new GitHub project titled "FX Steam Launcher".
The M2 air is more equivalent to a 12th Gen. i7 u or i5 H their CPU. My M1 MBP smokes my 12th gen i7 ThinkPad after the throttling has set in. A well cooled one at that. I3 laptops notoriously have shit cooling and even the passively cooled M2 will absolutely crush them once throttling has set in.
Some games run extremely well through translation layers, others done. It kinda depends on what instructions are needed. But as the other person said. If it’s what ya got then run what ya brung.
