thebadgerboy1982

Hi all,

Im totally rubbish with computer specs etc. Before i sign up to swift can anyone confirm if my mac laptop is good enough to run it?
Laptop info:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

Thanks

You'll be fine, zwift will just address the resolution to what the mac can comfortably run at.

Works on my old MacBook fine
So you should be OK.

running on 2008 MacBook Pro. Works okay, a bit sluggish getting it started and slows the whole computer down. However it works fine when it's got going. I would think a 2014 Mac shouldn't have any issues whatsoever.

It should work but remember that you're graphics chipset is pretty poor for 3D gaming so your frame rate may not be fantastic.

I've got a near identical setup - only difference is it's 2.6GHz with 16GB RAM

Runs fine - though the graphics are set low. Frame rate is acceptable .

Really?? I have the same macbook and it runs terribly, awful framerate and pretty much unusable. Bought a cheap windows laptop to run it and its miles better. Our laptops are pretty old now you know.....
