The benchmarks are all 1 season in, not 10.

Ok!

Still not sure what to buy 😊 But if only FM is running, 8 Ram should work then. If was thinking about Air because I only hade PRO before, but PRO feels more powerful...but don’t know if I need it.

Did you read the benchmark thread?
 

I think your setup is comparable to benchmark A. This benchmark is done after 10 seasons in. All M1 Macs got about 2 minutes on that benchmark. Look at where they rank.

I have the MacBook Air 8gb and I can assure fanless hasn’t been an issue so far. I would see it’s great because the operation is silent.

The fan on the pro only kicks in after heavy loads for longer periods. So if your usage will generate heavy loads for long periods than you should go for the pro. If you are planning to run VM’s and/or like 20 apps at the same time then you should go for 16gb.

I feel like with these 3 choices you can really save money if you are not a (really) heavy user. The performance is so comparable you won’t notice a difference.

Thanks!

Hi,

 

thinking about a new MacBook M1 and FM21. I use to play 10 countries with around 20 playable divisions. 
 

Not sure if I should buy Air 8 Ram, PRO 8 Ram or PRO 16 Ram. Don’t want it to get slow after 10-15 seasons... and I am not sure about the lack of fans om the AIR.

How would you do? 😊
