Actually I tried some of their silicon-optimized modern ports like the Resident Evil 2 Remake on a MacBook Air (The one that doesn’t even have active cooling) and I was taken aback by just how well it ran.

Of course it’s not a gaming PC, but it for sure punches well above its class with the games it runs.

    For a bit of fun I recently installed Horizon Zero Dawn on my M2 Air using Crossover, just to see how it fared.

    I got a perfectly respectable 25fps, or thereabouts.

    This is a three year old, fanless, entry-level laptop, playing a game that's not even written for its architecture at a rate that's entirely playable. It's actually crazy how good that hardware is.
