Killertree Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have a Macbook Air and was thinking of just downloading the free beta of Windows 8 instead of buying Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmerus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You probably can. Question is if you can play games on Macbook air, the specs is that of a washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Macbook Air can run TOR on High settings with shadows off. TOR isn't really a demanding game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you would get anywhere close to smooth FPS since nobody on youtube has ever managed to do that with a macbook air with any decent game released 2011. Just look at this video or even better TRY it yourself. It can't even run SC2 on low settings smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my Air ran WoW at max settings fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Why would you want to play any game in a beta version of an OS? IMO, just having the confirmation of support would be enough reason to buy Win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotif Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm running TOR on Windows 8 without issues, but on a regular PC, so I can't tell if it'll run on an Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
