    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.....
