Hey

I'm just getting hold of my CTO 11" Air (i5, 8 GB, 512SSD)

I've also backed Wasteland 2, Project Eternity and Torment on Kickstarter

Will my new macbook be able to play these games on high (or highest) settings? These aren't supremely punishing games, but with the low powered CPU and the Intel 5000, I was wondering what I should be expecting...

Thanks

As Wasteland is in Unity I believe you'll be more than fine. See this great thread on what folks are pulling off with games that have engines far more demanding than Unity.

and for what it's worth, I plan on enjoying Wasteland on my 13in Air as well.

Thanks Sech!

I'm dying to play all 3 of them (Torment the most, but 2015 is far away!)

Glad to know the MBA will handle Unity well - my current rMBP 15 is giving me way too many issues - good laptop, but needs a few iterations to be great. 11" Air with an i5 and everything else maxed out meets my needs perfectly.
