Hello. I'm looking to buy a MBA.
Although I want it mainly for portability, I want it to be able to run LoL.
My friend just got a 13" 2011 MBA and tells me not only it runs at 15 fps with medium settings, but also just being in boot camp will shut it down because of the heat.
So, I kindly request from someone with the 13" i5 2011 mba to install boot camp (and tell me which windows version you use), and run League of Legends (available only for windows). Put shadows on "no shadows" and other settings to minimum and low, and tell me your framerate.
Also, a simple question: Can your MBA 13" i5 run boot camp or does it overheat and shut down?
Also, try the above things on a 2010 13" (list your model) if possible, because if the 2011 model can't run it, I'll look for a 2010 one.
Thank you very much for your time. If you can't run the above tests, please don't answer with "I suppose, or I guess it can run". I want to be sure (doesn't mean I'll take your word as a guarantee, but it will give me some insight).
Thanks again.
Ignore the italic comment below if you're not a troll.
PS: Before someone bashes me for a reason like "it won't overheat just in boot camp", don't say it without proof. Because I had a 15" 2009 MBP (9400+9600gt gpus) and it actually couldn't run boot camp for more than 15-20 minutes, it would shut down because of the heat.
