I know that it's not meant to be a gaming machine, but will Modern Combat work(be playable) on the latest low-end 13" MBA?

I was wondering the same thing for the new SB Airs coming out. I also have NOVA and HD Pinball that I bought on the App store and wondering if the new Airs can handle if I upgrade. I also have Portal 2 and Torchlight running at high settings on my current Air through Steam for the Mac and was wondering if they will run on the new machine. I guess we won't know until it arrives next week.

Games run merely OK on the newer Air. Don't expect much. But do expect to have an extremely hot laptop when running these graphics intensive titles. Really really hot. And the fan that kicks in is really loud, which is pretty jarring on a laptop that is normally dead silent.
