Unreal Engine on MacBook Air

Dear Unreal Engine,

I recently downloaded the latest version on my MacBook Air. However, after I opened it up, it caused severe lagging with my laptop. It would take at least one minute for me to click play on a YouTube video while Unreal Engine was open. I am not sure what exactly the issue is, but I am guessing that it is due to either the hardware or software limitations of my MacBook Air.

I do not know if I should just somehow modify my current laptop or just get a new one. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

It looks like your MacBook Air is running low on memory. If you have low memory, it can cause lag when swapping. Please check your memory.
