Re: Which MacBook is best for Sims 4?
I know I'm a little late here, but honestly, for the same price (or even cheaper), you could easily get much higher specs with higher processing power, more cores, and with dedicated (aka separate) graphics cards on a Windows laptop (or desktop). Not the Surface laptops because they're generally more pricey (and don't have dedicated graphics), but you could definitely look into other brands like Dell, HP, Asus, Acer, Lenovo etc. (I personally use HP, because they have a great range).
You could even consider some lower-end Windows gaming laptops (that are mighty powerful already), and some are also cheap! Gaming laptops are AMAZING machines because if it can handle games, it can handle absolutely anything. Nowadays, any low-end gaming laptops can easily handle the Sims and won't break your wallet.
I'm not trying to steer you away from Apple products because they are also great, but unless you're able to afford higher specs, the cheaper ones aren't really made for gaming, especially MacBook Airs. They emphasise more on productivity work and are also a lot more limited in terms of apps that're out there.
If you're dead set on the MacBook Air, you won't really have a good experience with playing Sims, unless you get the 15" MacBook Pros or better.
Or just settle with cheap, Windows machines that can handle anything with a fly.
