    So I have my Vive hooked up to a custom built beast of a PC with a 1080 and all of the trimmings, but I wanted to start learning VR development on the Vive and I was wondering if I BootCamp my 2016 MacBook Pro that has a AMD Radeon Pro 450 in it and install Windows 10 would SteamVR and Unity work, and would it work well enough to do some simple beginner VR development.... I'm a coder, not a graphic designer, so to learn I would be using very simple shapes and objects I would build with my rudimentary blender skills.

    I'm asking mostly because I just didn't want to go to the trouble of re-partitioning my MacBook and installing Windows 10 on it only to find it either wouldn't work at all or would be too slow to even have a VR scene with a few simple objects on it

    Its probably more hassle then its worth in the end. Your macs gpu specs are way lower then even the minimum requirements so i would not bet on its working out in the end.
