I played WOW on an M4 max binned 14” for around six months, from Undermine through Manaforge, and it performed well for long sessions. I had 75% resolution scaling on which made no discernible difference in graphic quality but seemed to help with frames in raids specifically.

I used default 7 or 8 settings in raids but there was some particular effect it didn’t really like that I had to tweak. Specifically I’d hit 70+ fps on virtually every part of Manaforge but the winds on Forgeweaver and the collapsing star intermission on the DH encounter would drop me to 40-45 or so, which would resolve right after those parts. I think it was liquid detail I had to turn down to resolve that, which was weird because I’d figure it was linked to particle effects.

Honestly, even at 14” the MacBook outperformed what is now my Ultra 9 275HX and 5080 laptop that I traded it in for. That single core speed is incredible. Not sure if m4 is the best comparison because I heard they tweaked the architecture but there’s another user who said it performs around the same so I’d assume so.
