@Scottyy_2015 The Lenovo will run Sims 4 better, for sure, although the gap isn't as large as people might think. If you love Macs like some of us do, an M1 Mac of any flavor will handle Sims 4 well enough to suit your needs; just make sure the Air can cool itself properly. If you're indifferent about the OS, the Lenovo is the better choice: it's dedicated graphics card is faster than the integrated chip of the Mac, and it won't have the occasional Mac-specific issue that shows up here and there.

If you're looking for other ideas, I posted some suggestions for another player here, along with prices:
