Hey everyone
I have a MacBook Air 13" and I was just wondering if playing games through origin while plugged in will affect my computer in the long run? It gets hot sometimes but I don't know whether it will affect my computers performance etc?
Nope. Your MBA might become warm to the point it automatically reduces its performance, temporarily, to prevent it from overheating. That might manifest in a reduced frame rate, for example, but you won't hurt your Mac just by using it.
Games will run best if you give your Mac every opportunity to keep itself cool. Read Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support and Learn about the fans in your Mac - Apple Support.
