I do too! Minecraft and Factorio for sure. BG3 is underwhelming on my M1 MBA, even with the extra RAM, but I mostly use GeForce now for games. I found an adapter from Cable Matters to get that sweet 120Hz at 4k through HDMI. It looks amazing on my TV. The company provides some alternative firmware you can put on the USB-C dongle to make it work, though you need a Windows machine to upgrade the firmware.

I really have no interest in getting another laptop or building a gaming PC I will ignore. I can't justify it. This thing is light, has amazing battery life, and runs everything I need it to. I have a console for other games. If the game isn't on console, osx, or GeForce Now, I just won't play it.

I do agree with some of the others that it would be nice if they got on the Vulcan train.

Ayy, nice! I got a base 14" M1 Pro myself and it's a blast, especially thanks to that display. The refresh rate, brightness and colors are amazing. If you'd like to stay with a single computer, I'd totally recommend upgrading to it as the performance makes a lot more games playable.

Check out the Create mod in Minecraft if you like Factorio, you will love it. It's basically Factorio but in Minecraft. Oh and Hades should run well on your MBA as well, I'd recommend you try it if you haven't already!
