Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy a MacBook Air and I’m considering playing Crimson Desert on it (I know it’s not exactly a gaming machine, but still curious how far I can push it).

I’m currently choosing between:
Option A: MacBook Air M4 (2025), 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU, 24GB RAM
Option B: MacBook Air M5 base model, 10-core CPU / 8-core GPU, (likely 16GB RAM)

My main question is: how much of a real-world difference should I expect between these two for gaming? Especially considering:
extra RAM (24GB vs 16GB);
10-core vs 8-core GPU;

Would the M5 base outperform the higher-spec M4, or is the extra RAM + GPU cores on the M4 likely to matter more for a game like this?

Any insights (or realistic expectations…) would be appreciated.

Thanks!
