An important note about the new Apple Silicon processors (eg. “M1”) For the past 15 years, Apple has been using Intel processors, and many of their computers still do. Last November, Apple began offering new desktop and notebook computers that are instead powered by Apple silicon, starting with the M1. Although Mac computers with Apple silicon offer substantial performance benefits, they are not currently compatible with all curriculum software in your program. Microsoft Windows cannot run natively (via Apple’s Bootcamp software) as it does when using an Intel based Mac, making Windows-specific rendering applications either completely unable to launch, or run with severely reduced performance. If you are (or plan to be) using any of the above software for your course work this coming school year, we recommend either purchasing an Intel-based Mac. If you end up choosing a Mac with Apple silicon, please also make sure you have the other required or recommended specifications as shown below. To verify compatibility with Apple silicon (or any other variables), please refer to the “system requirements” as published at that software maker’s website.
