Sims 3 on the New MacBook Air M2

I am planning on buying the new MacBook Air with the M2 chip. I want to get the 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine with 24 GB of unified memory and 1 TB of SSD storage. I wanted to see if anyone has this device or can tell me if the Sims 3 will work smoothly on this laptop with these specs.

    @nessatay1920 This video seems like it might help you decide.

    Edit: So I watched this video a bit and from my personal perspective, I wouldn't buy this computer for gaming. Base game World of Warcraft just running around in Durotar and dropping to 30 fps? :grimace: If WoW performs like that on ultra settings, I certainly wouldn't be paying $1500 for that. :lol: And if WoW is dipping that much (and running that hot), then I don't want to imagine running The Sims 3 on this machine. :sweat_smile:
