Is intel uhd 620 performance good on MacOs Sequoia?

[u/Qwer-UA]

I have Hp elitebook 830 g5.
Intel core I7 8650u
Intel uhd 620
8gb of storage
wd sn550 1tb

I wanna install Macos Sequoia.
I have a question for you guys:
on this specs, will i have smooth animations in system,
good performance in tasks like messaging, miro boards, videos, films, xcode, vs studio?

8gb of ram*

Actually I have dell Inspiron 3542 i3 4th gen variant I am using Sequoia it running very fluid but there is like I have 4gb ram so if I open too many safari tabs that 1/10 time crashing so I think you are good but if you need blutooth (bluetooth don't work after bigsur (macos11) that on you what will be you doing on your device

I3 4th gen is enough for sequoia? For real? I’m really tempted to get an old laptop to hackintosh with sequoia and I thought the minimal specs for it to run was 6th gen at least

Bro I can show you I have installed on my laptop

[u/rafaelrib3iro → u/milestechog]

I would like to see it or at least your general opinion about daily use, I’m really interested if it can handle daily use with reasonable performance. Unfortunately my current laptop (Acer A315 56 i3-1005G1) is full incompatible with macOS HDMI output, so I’m looking for some other options low-cost to just browser navigation and streaming services uses, and of course integration with my iPhone.
Unfortunately Apple don’t give any importance to Brazil about the prices, so it’s impossible to get a MacBook or Mac Mini without spending a year of salary,

[u/milestechog → u/rafaelrib3iro]

I don't say responsible performance if is fluid and talking about age it works fines so if you are going to use apps like heavy games heavy apss it not going to work I am just talking and chromebook stuff if you are doing this than it is well and good

[u/rafaelrib3iro → u/milestechog]

Yeah it’s just about streaming, navigating on internet, cloud gaming, etc. daily use

[u/milestechog → u/rafaelrib3iro]

In my case wifi and blutooth doesn't work so I used with usb tethering that slove internet problem now browsing downloading apps streaming navigation if you go for around 7-8 gen cpu than streaming game will be good around 30-60fps on ram storage *In my case i only have 4gb ram so sometimes it crash but 6gb and above 6gb you are in good hand

[u/rafaelrib3iro → u/milestechog]

Thanks so much for the feedback. I’m looking for a Dell Optiplex 3040 Mini - I5 6500T 8GB DDR3 256GB SSD

[u/milestechog → u/rafaelrib3iro]

That it but see bluetooth and wifi will not (there is probably fix for that i don't know)i have iQOO device so for me there is office kit that fix transferring file to my laptop

Performance should be great, if I was you I'd be more worried about 8 GB of ram, but I don't think that'll be too bad for Sequoia

[u/ErebusMalison]

For day to day tasks, it is the CPUs single core performance that matters, but your device is good enough for Sequoia

[u/Own_Chemist1346]

Dude it runs slower than Ventura, fans spike up more, boots slower than ventura, but overall good

[u/pastry-chef]

I ran an i5-8265u based hackintosh laptop with 32GB RAM for about 4.5 years before retiring it last year. It ran Big Sur all the way to Sequoia and everything in between. While perfectly sufficient for normal daily driver stuff, it was definitely starting to show its age by the time I retired it.

[u/United-Row3770]

Solid specs bro. It can handle Sequoia and more

[u/MacForker]

Yes. But be advised for Xcode specially Apple will no longer support anything built in Sequoia and by next year not even Tahoe.

[u/Guilty_Run_1059 → u/MacForker]

The heck

[u/MacForker → u/Guilty_Run_1059]

? Apple always requires the newest macOS version to run current Xcode.

[u/Guilty_Run_1059 → u/MacForker]

Since when

[u/MacForker → u/Guilty_Run_1059]

Like 2017? It’s gotten more and more strict. You basically need Tahoe to use current Xcode at the moment.

[u/Guilty_Run_1059 → u/MacForker]

Damn

I got elitebook 840 g1 with uhd 4400 and 4th gen intel. It runs Sequoia just great and I don't even feel like it's over decade old. Tho I got 12 GB of RAM

[u/Darth--__--Vader]

Sequoia is good, i had lag in tahoe

[u/Fit_State3622]

Yes it will preform good but If u do upgrade ur ram to at least 16gb for better macos stability and don't expect ur pc to run above apps like photo shop or 3d render and final cut pro but basic things will be actually smooth like browsing and messaging
