It's interesting, but we'd still like to see actual FM benchmarks for the Air.  Knowing how it performs for FM will be a huge help.

Ah, didnt know you can do specific benchmarks... hopefully mine will be here soon and if I can grasp how you do it will be happy to help out.

If you do get the MacBook Air, would you be kind enough to do the benchmark tests please? This sort of thing is hugely helpful when it comes to the PC and Laptop advice thread. 

Dont know if this is any good to you https://youtu.be/CmMOJTs7Pu8. Tests start from 6 minutes. I've been won over and have purchased the air! Managed to get a deal for £830. Only catch is dispatch can take up to 30 days damn it.

I'm no expert but I've got a macbook pro and it's not great at all for gaming/FM. Not new of course but it can't handle 3D matches without taking off and I play touch version! 

I have an Imac and can vouch for that also. Im hearing this new m1 chip is a game changer... I like the fact that I know how apple works and how they hold on to their value, but if it's not very good for fm it's pointless as that will be its main purpose for me.

Hi,

 

Just seen this offer and wondering what your thoughts are?

 

https://www.theedustore.co.uk/mac/macbook-air/13-inch-macbook-air-apple-m1-chip-with-8-core-cpu-and-7-core-gpu-256gb-gold-4-year-warranty

 

Will it be capable playing fm with a few leagues loaded up with max graphics and is it worth the price or is there something more powewrfull for the equivalent price?

Yep, absolutely solid. Nice spec.  Good price too. 

Thank you. Going to commit to this now. Might just wait couple more weeks to make it an even better price!

Hi,

Please can you help as I am useless with this type of thing.

 

I bought an imac 2016 and playin fm is not the best on it as you well know.

It's time for an upgrade but all these options are sending me dizzy....

 

Think I have found one but would like to know your thoughts. Is this up for the task and will it remain to be for the forseeable future?

Also if you can think there a better option out there for in and around the same price please do recommend.
