New Mac Book Pro graphics?
-
I believe that Intel graphics has been an issue in the past for SketchUp.
Does anyone have any info whether this would still be an issue with the new MacBook Pro? -
I don't have any direct experience with the new gen MacBook Pros, but from a reply I gave to a similar query on the other forum:
I have a late 2014 13" MacBook Pro with the following specs:
2.6 GHz Core i5 (4th Gen / Haswell)
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
Intel Iris 5100 integrated graphicsIt runs SketchUp well and drives a Dell U3415W external monitor without any problems or latency. Given that the Touchbar model is two generations newer for both CPU and GPU, (with associated increases in speed/power) it should work well. The 13" model can drive a 5K monitor with a single TB3 cable, the 15" can drive two.
I wouldn't worry about Intel integrated graphics compatibility — there have been associated issues reported with Windows PC's but never heard any from recent MacBooks. Maybe because they use the higher spec'd Iris graphics (vs the lower-end HD graphics often found on PC ultrabooks)— plus you don't have wonky driver issues on the Mac, which support the latest OpenGL spec.
Sorry for the cut & paste, but hope the info is marginally useful.
