Indeed - this is the first time in over 20 years I'm excited about new Mac hardware.
I was all set to replace my 2015 MBA with an M1 MacBook Air. Then I started watching all the videos of people running games on the Air (Air!) - and even Windows games - many of which I play - under Crossover (commercial version of WINE from CodeWeavers - more than worth the $60 for the integration work they have done) I'm starting to realize that I may not care about keeping a Windows gaming machine any more. My only problem is I'm addicted to way to many assets in Cities:Skylines to get by with 16GB of RAM, so now I'm seriously thinking about waiting for round 2 for something that can get to at least 32GB of RAM.
And by the time those machines are out I suspect a few of the games I care about that don't run on the M1 may have a solution of some sort. It's nuts, and not a path I thought I might go down - but the performance I'm seeing from non-native code already simply blows me away.
It's only going to get better from here. This is the _ground floor_. I have to keep reminding myself that this is the start
