  MacBook Air retina with resolve.

  Will any of the MacBook airs with retina run resolve? Technically it has enough resolution.

  The 15″ retina MacBook Pro works fine.

  The MacBook Air and 13″ retina MacBook Pro don’t have a GPU capable of running Resolve.

  The 15″ non-Retina MacBook Pro will also work as long as you get the ‘hires’ version with a resolution of 1680×1050. Available only online for $100 over the normal price.

  If you live in a country with no Apple online store, you can get the standard 2.6GHz 15″ MacBook Pro and add an external 24″ 1920×1080 display and run Resolve that way.

  The new non-Retina MBP and Retina MBP both have the same GPU, a nVidia GTX 650 which is really fast compared to the earlier ATI GPU.
