If you are migrating from Windows to Mac OS, the interface shift can be jarring. The philosophy of the operating system changes how SketchUp behaves.
One of the advantages of the Mac architecture is Unified Memory. Unlike traditional PCs where VRAM (Video RAM) and System RAM are separate, Macs share a single memory pool. This is excellent for SketchUp, as it allows the GPU to access more memory if the model gets heavy, provided you have a Mac with sufficient RAM (16GB or more is recommended for professional work).
The answer is a resounding "Yes," with caveats.
Architects love the portability of the MacBook Pro combined with SketchUp’s lightweight file structure. You can draft a detailed floor plan on a train, then AirDrop the file to an iPad Pro for client presentations.
