is m1 macbook air suitable for 3ds max user

I am an interior designer.

I have been using Adobe Autocad and 3ds max for my work.

All the while i am using window base laptop to run this software.

I was wondering is M1 Macbook air or M1 Macbook pro good for 3ds max rendering.

I need your advice before i decide which laptop to get.


Thank you.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

No, it's not. 3ds max still not have a mac OS version. You need a mac that can support windows (intel macs for now) if you really wants to work on a mac . Autocad should be fine on m1 but i dont have m1 mac and not tested it.


Maya, Cinema4D, Blender, and Modo is available on macOS (dont know about performance on m1 mac) and you can replace it for 3dsmax usage case.
