I am considering buying the new MacBook Air M1 too! I have a really old MacBook pro mid2014 and really want to upgrade. Since the Sims 4 is a pretty heavy game and the new MacBook air does not have a cooler, do.

Metro: Exodus M1 Mac benchmarks
These are the Metro: Exodus M1 benchmarks we have gathered so far, from our friend, MrMacRight on YouTube:
| Benchmarks | High Settings & 900p | Medium Settings & 1080p |
| MacBook Pro (M1, 2020) | 40 FPS | 30 FPS |
As a reminder, this is how we describe the different levels of performance:
- Below 20 FPS: Unplayable: Laggy gameplay, full of stutters and slowdowns.
- 20-30 FPS: Borderline: Can be OK in slow-paced games. Still, not optimal.
- 30-45 FPS: Playable: Acceptable for most (most gaming consoles do this).
- 45-60 FPS: Smooth: Fluid gameplay, with no perceivable stutters.
- 60+ FPS: Very Smooth: For hardcore and professional players, a luxury for most.
We usually aim for 30 FPS, because 30 FPS is enough to guarantee a smooth and fluid experience for most casual gamers.

Hi, I decided to get a new macbook M1, but I can't decide which one to get. I am currently a grad school student. Usually I just use the computer for school work (essays, projects, emails), Youtube, and regular usage. I do use it for other kinds of purposes like music editing and video editing (but not to the extent of a professional). Sometimes I play games like the Sims 4 (also not an intensive gamer). Should I get the air or pro, depending on my usage? Right now, I prefer the Air because of the price and the amount of work it can do. But I'm afraid it will get really hot and slow as I increase the workload. I want to keep the new macbook for at least 6 years. If I do end up getting the Air, should I upgrade the RAM to 16GB? Thanks in advance!
