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.

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.
