I just bought a Mac Book Pro 13". Is it suitable to run Vectorworks 2018/19. I was told the Intel Iris graphics card is not recommended. Vectorworks recommends the 15" MacBook Pro but I noticed that the 15" also has an Intel UHD Graphics 630.

Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz

VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1536 MB

I do no rendering or 3d modeling on the machine. Do I need to upgrade to a 15" for glitch free graphic performance?
