Huh? I ran Windows on my M1 MBA quite easily: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewARM64 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsins... It was under Parallels but I’m sure over time someone will figure out how to direct boot into it if that’s really important. Performance of the M1 running Windows and games either in Crossover (commercial WINE implementation - well worth the $40 for ease of use/installation) or the Windows 10 beta actually turned out to be a bad thing. I subscribe to way too many assets in Cities:Skylines to use 16GB of RAM - I need at least 32GB so with great difficulty I returned the 16GB MBA and am eagerly awaiting the next round of AS Macs, hoping there will be at least one laptop that can take at lease 32GB of RAM. If so I will probably never update my Windows gaming machine again. Not that I could if I wanted to right now with the insane GPU shortages - but that’s another topic :p

Yeah it can help in a pinch or for some specific workflows, but that's not a substitute. I am hoping that my 2015 15'' MBP does not die before the next 15'' or 16'' are released. 32 GB (bare minimum) or 64 GB (for future proofing) and a better CPU would be great. I don't have enough time to play even my backlog of Mac and Switch games. I wanted to build another PC for fun and to play, but I am not sure I will anymore.
