Can I play CSL with my MacBook pro

[Yawdie 0]

Hi everyone i am thinking about purchasing CSL from steam, will i be able to play it using my MacBook pro? 

These are my Specs:

Model MacBook Pro (13-inch Retina Late 2013)

Operating System macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (Build 16B2657)

Processor Intel Core i7-4558U @ 2.80 GHz 
1 processor, 2 cores, 4 threads

16g Memory Ram

Graphics Intel Iris 1536mb

Thank You

Possibly, but because that machine doesn't appear to have a dedicated GPU (the Intel one is integrated and shares RAM with your system), performance may not be particularly good. The developers don't officially support integrated graphics, but if you set the gprahics options low enough you might find it playable.

As  a proud macbook owner I can confirm you will probably be able to play CS but don't expect any great shakes from it. You will quickly become frustrated at the limitations.

What does this even mean? I own computers, I've never been proud about it. You then go on to say that your expensive thing you are so proud of is useless at playing games. Seriously, what is it I'm failing to understand about Mac Ownership? I prefer function over form, not the other way around. Since I've never had a big thing about staring at my computer longingly, I want to use it.

Well, I don't own any Macs, but I'm still pretty proud of my 0.85" thick, 2.3kg laptop with 4K screen and a GTX1070 GPU  
Okay, 'proud' may technically not be the correct term, but I think most people know what's implied by saying so (not proud as in 'e-penis enhancing', but proud as in pleased to be the lucky/happy owner of such a device, or perhaps even being proud of the sacrifice I made by accepting that for the next 6 months I can only afford to buy dry bread and water ).

Does a 4K resolution really make much of a difference on a small laptop screen? I guess you can fit a lot more within the window, but wouldn't it be incredibly small? There has to be a point of diminishing returns. Not to bring you down, I guess I was proud of my AMD Athlon XP 2400+ back in the day.

Things obviously look much crisper/sharper on a 4K screen, even on a 15.6" one (noticeable with text, but video's look better/more detailed too, as do game graphics), but I agree not having one is by no means a deal-breaker. The reason I ultimately went for the 100 euro upgrade from 1080p to 4K was that the 4K panel scored better in the color accuracy/contrast/brightness benchmarks than the 1080p one (which is meaningful for an amateur photographer like me). Of much less importance - but a still nice touch - is that upgrade also swapped the DVD RW for a Blu Ray RW drive.
