That is true: the old MacBook Air can barely run the game while the new MacBook Air can run it fine and on higher graphics settings. The new MacBook Air has longer battery life than the Intel models, too, despite the faster chip. The M1 chip also lets the MacBook Air run some iPhone and iPad apps, but a lot of app makers have opted out from having their apps published. The M1 MacBook Air only supports one external monitor instead of two like on the last MacBook Air. I also could not test every app out there in the week or so I had with the new MacBook Air.
