X-Plane on MBA/rMBP 13"

[hexblot]

Hello,

I assume the title says most of it, but the question is -- I'm torn between a MBA (w. RAM upgrade to 8Gb) or an rMBP of similar specs ( ie 13", 128Gb, base CPU ).

I assume both can play X-Plane sufficiently, but the question is -- does anyone here play it, and if so, how well does it fare ?

Thank you in advance!

To be honest, I doubt either could play X-Plane sufficiently. It has recommend requirements of 1GB VRAM. The integrated graphics on both laptops have maybe 500MB tops, and aren't even that powerful.
