Thank you all for the support!!

The current 16" MacBook Pros work very well with SketchUp. No need to worry too much about the individual specs as they don’t differ greatly from the different models in that size range. Obviously more RAM and bigger video card are good, so get what you can afford. On a side note, Adobe CC runs on …

Thank you for the help, it is important for me to understand if it will have a good performance! Yes i bet it does, but when i start to use adobe more than 10years ago, the best performance was Mac and then i get used to it, but i believe now the performance of windows should be equal :wink:

Mac 2020 M1 Hello I bought the new Apple MacBook Pro M1. I’ve had issues with this computer spinning on the rainbow wheel during the simplest of tasks, such as zooming in on a drawing. The old Mac I traded in (2013) never did this. Contacted Apple, we did OS re-install as a suggested fix. Th…

He’s referring to the new, entry level, 13" M1 MacBook Pro. The Intel models are not the newest, although Apple still sells them until they replace them with another M chip.

[image] trampy: Not so old Intel chipset. He was talking about the M1 not the Intel macs. The intel macs are NOT the new models. I already know all about the M chips, you don’t need to explain in huge posts.

Once again I’m 100% aware of this. I even wrote that myself before you arrived. But this is about the M1 Macs which are NEW not the older Intel models which haven’t got the Apple silicon.
