Based on NMS performance on my 2010 era i7 and middling graphics card back in ~2017, I'm guessing that it will look and run great on the M1. I'm installing on my M1 mini, I can report back in about 6 hours on performance.

I imagine you could have fun with the trackpad, it definitely works with the KBD/mouse combo.

When they announced it at WWDC last year part of the developer context was talking about their new "MetalFX" upscaling system, which NMS is using. I imagine any ARM Mac will handle it pretty well with that up their sleeve.

And the Mac Mini has a fan (unlike the Macbook Air) which should be a big help in sustained workloads like gaming.
