![]() ![]() The M1 Macs have set a bar too high in terms of performance and efficiency. The MacBooks weren’t ever known as gaming machines, but you can harvest the raw power and turn it into gaming. But with repeated reviews stating how incredibly the M1 Macbook Pro performs, it might be time to just accept the reality: it really is that good. Is the MacBook Air M1 good for gaming The M1 chip is powerful enough for gaming, video editing, and coding. It has been easy to ride Apple for years for over-promising and under-delivering, so skepticism of performance in reviews is to be expected. Linus managed to get over 20 hours of battery life using optimized settings ( PetaPixel did not use optimized settings on purpose while reviewing the Macbook Pro and still clocked nearly 16 hours of battery life) and their performance benchmarks are even more impressive than what was published in PetaPixel’s review. ![]() You could in theory use this thing for days at a time without juicing it up depending on what you do with it.”Īnyone doubting the performance or battery numbers of the Macbook Pro published here should be thrilled by this confirmation of performance. “We didn’t think it would manage it in the real world,” Linus says “And this cannot be overstated: we’re looking at iPad-like endurance on a laptop running a full desktop operating system. The base model M1 Mac Mini will contain 8GB of unified memory and 256GB of SSD storage, support for Apple’s recently released 6K Pro Display XDR and more, starting at 699 USD. ![]() Those eight additional hours are longer than some laptops last in total. Our MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM scored a resounding 5,962 on the Geekbench 5.2 overall performance test, crushing the XPS 13 (5,319, Core i7-1165G7) with an 11th Gen (Tiger lake) Intel Core. Basically, in Linus’s tests, the only computer that consistently outperformed the M1 Macbooks was a much thicker, beefier, dedicated gaming laptop.īattery life performance was also wildly impressive: it broke 20 hours of continuous use, eight hours more than the next closest competitor. ![]()
