CSGO/CS2 on the macbook

I'm thinking of buying a Macbook air m2 in the future. If I play CSGO, will I have problems other than overheating?

Sorry for the English translation.

Blender (VFX Software) Is the M1 or M2 chip powerful enough to withstand the capability of Blender? Can my MacBook withstand Blender or Do I have to buy a Mac instead to withstand the software? Blender has so much programs in the software it might overheat the MacBooks or Macs. Blender Link: https://www.blender.org/

Can a MacBook Air M3 handle casual gaming? I have a MacBook Air M3 with 16GB Memory and 8 Cores. Can it be used for regular (a few hours a week) gaming? And if so, are there any precautions or instructions one should follow to optimize the MacBook and prevent damage? And finally, can one play games beyond those on the App Store? If so, how? Thanks in advance! P.S. Gaming is not my why I got the MacBook; I'm considering it only for occasional gaming use if possible. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can the new 2023 15" Apple Macbook Air handle architectural programs such as Vectorworks, Revit and Photoshop? I'm an architect and I travel, therefore I am interested in the Macbook air (15") namely for its weight (and price!) but I am uncertain as to whether it would be capable of handling the programs I run. I currently have a 2017 15" Macbook Pro which works well, so it would be good first of all to know: Will the new 2023 15" Macbook Air be an upgrade to my existing one? Will it be able to handle my programs including Vectorworks, Sketchup, Revit and Photoshop? Comparing the new Air to the new Pro, I've noticed two main differences: The Air's has a CPU-8 and GPU-10, over the Pro's CPU-12 and GPU-19 The M2 Chip in the Air is not "PRO" NB. If I were to get the Air, I would upgrade the Unified Memory from 8gb to 16gb (Or potentially 24gb if recommended?) Thank you for your help in advance!

That's difficult, if not impossible to predict, as devices have different cooling mechanism for different years and models.

Some info here: Transfer from PC to Mac with Migration Assistant - Apple Support

You might also want to inquire in game specific forums for more specific, user experienced, data.
