Mac Graphics Hardware for Unity Authoring

I presume its pretty much the same as for Windows, as these days both platforms pretty much use the same hardware. Am I wrong?

It says your video hardware needs to support DirectX 9 / Shader $$anonymous$$odel 2. Clearly DirectX information doesn't apply here, so I was looking for a way to get a $$anonymous$$ac to tell me about the shader model. I think I found the solution, though. You need to find your graphics hardware model under the Graphics/Display page of the information window that appears when you click "$$anonymous$$ore Info..." in the "About this $$anonymous$$ac" dialog box, then you need to check the specifications on that hardware to see what shader models it supports. (On Windows you just run dxdiag and everything's right there.)

tanoshimi -- I'm running a class and I need to be able to tell people before they sign up if their computer has sufficient capabilities.

So here's the answer to my question. (I was able to find the answer when it dawned on me that the Shader $$anonymous$$odel support level can be found as well as that of DirectX.) The system requirements given for Unity don't appear to be specific enough for $$anonymous$$acs, but they actually are because of the hardware requirements of Snow Leopard. All Intel-based $$anonymous$$acs are built with sufficient graphics hardware for Unity authoring. That's the Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Air series, and Pro series.

Oh I didn't specify... I was interested in laptops specifically. I can't speak to other form factors.
