Macbook Air Thunderbolt Display combo
Hello everyone!
I am the owner of 2012 Macbook Air (core i7, 8GB) and I am looking forward buying a Thunderbolt Display, because 13'' screen is too small for me.
A question to macbook air + thunderbolt display (both of them) OWNERS:
Guys could you kindly tell me if you tried some gaming in this setup? For example average video settings on Diablo 3, WoW ?
I do completely realize, that MBA has nothing to do with hardcore gaming, but macbook pro is just too large and heavy for me ( I take the MBA everywhere every day in my suitcase, just like some of you may do with ipad), even retina version.
Will Intel integrated graphics handle such a HIGH resolution while playing described above (or similar) games ?
Also I am really worried about operating temperatures. According to reviews on our forum, many people find out that connected to TBD macbook air runs hot even during normal work (browsing, working with MS office etc), so what happens during 2-3 hour gaming ?
There is no doubt Apple took care of everything ( too hot temperatures force the machine to shut down ; TBD was created for macbook air so ofcourse they should work well together ), but I sill dont wont to rape my MBA, since I use it for work and there is NO WAY I can let it brake.
Thank you for your time 🙂
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
