There are a few specific Intel graphics cards that don’t play nicely with CloudReady, including the GMA 500, 600, 36. CloudReady requires at least 2GB of RAM, at least 16GB of storage, and graphics components made during or after 2007. CloudReady has officially only certified 11 Mac models, but it’s likely you’ll be able to get the OS up and running on non-certified Intel machines as well. Compatibility with CloudReady technically begins with Macs from 2006, but it’s not recommended. CloudReady will not work on PowerPC Macs, so sadly, you can’t revive your sunflower iMac G4 or your blueberry iBook. You can install CloudReady on virtually any Intel Mac from 2007 on. The Mac mini that I used can run Big Sur, but it’s severely underpowered, being seven years old and not physically upgradeable. The MacBook Pro model that I used for this experiment only runs macOS up to Catalina, so it’s already out-of-date. Neither run recent versions of macOS particularly well, and they certainly aren’t good for power-hungry tasks. Each of these Macs had 4GB of RAM and much older Intel processors. Both of these machines have run-of-the-mill specs for their time. I was able to get CloudReady running on a 2014 Mac mini and a 2012 13″ MacBook Pro. Here’s how to get CloudReady up and running on an old Mac.
This means that Google offers an officially sanctioned way of reviving old computers with Chrome OS.
Just last year, Google acquired Neverware, the company behind CloudReady.
CloudReady isn’t a new product by any stretch, but I had always been itching to try it out. Chrome's graphics performance was also 15% faster than Safari due to recent graphics optimizations.Is there an old out-of-date Mac that you desperately miss using? Well, you’re in luck because it’s incredibly easy to install a modern version of Chrome OS on old Intel Macs for free. Google credits Chrome's faster speeds to its ThinLTO build optimization technique in Chrome 99 for making it now 7% faster than current builds of Safari. It compared Chrome 99 with Safari 15.2 17612.3.6.1.6 on a 14-inch 2021 model MacBook Pro with the Apple M1 Max chip with 10 cores, 32 GPU cores, and 64GB of RAM that was connected to power. The improvements Google highlights are particularly important for Chrome's performance on Apple's M1 Macs.
