    As Beamng is not released, there is no way to know if it will run on this or that.

    Even if that did work after the games release apple computers usually dont have enough power to run things like that.

    So it probaly wouldent work.

    It depends entirely on what machine you have exactly matey and how that matches up with the specs they release once the game is near completion. What Flappy said is not correct unless you are running a considerably old imac or macbook (in my experience). My machine which is an 8core Xeon Mac Pro runs any game I throw at it fine on Windows 7 64 bit bootcamped and I am sitting on a 4 year old machine as does my fathers macbook pro which is around 2 years of age. However,what Flappy said may well run very true with I-Macs and maybe this is where his opinion is based. They are notoriously expensive, Under spec'd and completely impractical in the fact that you can't upgrade them. This is known in any industry that uses them for serious work as well as by the vast majority of daily Apple users. If you have one, then I would doubt it will run this unless it is a machine that is less than a year old. Never the less, Its always worth a try :p

    My 2010 Imac has a quad i7 and an HD 5750, it's ok, even a 2009, maybe 2008 Imac will. Not terrible machines, just expencive. A 2013 Imac uses GTX 680 and i7 3770.
    /rant ;)

    OT but don't macs have the mobile graphics cards? (GTX680m) I don't know about the cooling in macs but the reason graphics suck in laptops is because of heat, so they are clocked down.
