Sketchup 2021, on my 2021 16” MacBook Pro works amazingly well, it can handle large models without any issues, it’s amazing the power of this SOC’s, can’t wait to see how does optimized sketchup works on macOS in the future.

What is your Mac’s configuration? Memory, Chip type, SSD, etc. I am looking to get a new machine and would love any recommendations. Thanks!

On M1 under Rosetta SketchUp works about the same as an Intel MacBook Pro. But, the SSD and pretty well everything else works faster on M1. Overall it feels more responsive. For my Mac I went with M1 Max and 64 GB, plus 4 TB SSD. Not the lowest combination!

I have the 16” MacBook Pro with the M1 max chip, 32 gb of ram, and 1 tb ssd.

You’re right, it feels faster in these machines, can’t imagine how faster would it be when the software is fully optimized for Apple Silicon.

OK - someone with an M1Max, please fire it up and let us know how it performs! I need justification to get one on order and wait a few months for it to show up!

Yeah, we really need to hear quantitative real-world reports from people trying 2022 on M1 Macs! Not qualitative, like it “runs smoothly” or “feels faster”.

I tried the benchmark model test, with antialiasing set to 4X to make it more demanding. 2022 running using Rosetta gives 40 fps, which compares well against Intel machines. Running as M1 native it gets 60 fps.

Edit: for 2021 running via Rosetta I get: 40 fps - 61 fps. (profiles on and off) [2021 on M1] for 2022 running natively I get: 60 fps - 118 fps [2022 on M1]

118 FPS! That’s what I’m talking about. Time to head to the Apple store. Actually, come to think of I did not hear it specifically said that Layout 22 was ported to the M1 as well. Is Layout still running in Rosetta?
