14-inch MacBook Pro review: A Mac Pro in your backpack

I wonder about games, and sadly this website doesn't list any.

I want a new laptop and those new M1 MBPs look interesting, with low TDP high performance. I primarily use it for development and browsing when I'm not home (I have a family overseas), but I also want to play games now and then.

I know Steam has native ARM support and some games I play are ported as well, but I really wonder how much can I get from double translation layers (x86 to ARM + Wine or derivatives).

Games are decent to good, I had a good experience using CrossOver--though I was playing 2d (spelunky, omori at the time). https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/ Retro emulation is phenomenal, PS1 PSP DS no problem, everything earlier great. YMMV as I have separate gaming machines
