ESO needs very little to run well. There are a few options that will cause problems but at the end of the day, ESO is borderline POTATO requirements except for trials.

Though that said a MacBook air will light itself on fire just being powered on so YMMV.

In their defense, the battery life of the Air is awesome, so that's a win for them.

Uh, not if you're playing ESO on one, because ESO sucks the charge right out of that sucker. I know this firsthand because I play ESO on a MacBook Air.

If I'm not playing ESO, the battery's charge lasts a nice long time, and if I have to plug it in it will recharge quickly.

If I'm playing ESO, the battery's charge lasts only a fraction of its normal time, and if I have to plug it in while I'm playing ESO it will take forever to recharge.
