How Daz Studio work

Hey guys,

I need to understand how Daz Studio works. The scene preparation is made only on CPU or only GPU or both? 

I have two machines. One is a workstation which does the renders and the other one is a laptop, where I prepare the scenes and do a test render. Right now I need to replace the laptop with a macbook pro for some projects. As you know macs don't have a good graphics card, however, the CPUs are decent. So can I prepare the scenes on a MacBook Pro? I also have an external GPU for doing the test render, so that should help, but the only problem is with the scene preparation. 

When preparing the scene I cannot use the GPU because on OSx I need to use another Monitor, however for rendering, I can set to only use the external GPU for rendering, so I'm pretty sure that doing the render test won't be a problem. The only Problem would be the preparations, that's why I need to know how Daz works

What do you guys think?

    Manipulating objects, posing and moving etc., is pretty much all CPU. Drawing the viewport is on the GPU. The macbook pro, depending on vintage, could have either intel integrated graphics or a Radeon GPU. The Radeon GPU's should handle any viewport, except iray obv., pretty well. The Intel? Not so much. So you might be able to build scenes pretty well on the laptop, don't count on it being very easy though those macbooks do not all have a "decent" CPU.

    I'm talking about the latest Macbook Pro. 

    It's a 2.6GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor
