Actually, your Macbook might have an nVidia card (mine does), but in order for AE to use it for acceleration, you have to have a minimum of 1GB of RAM on your card. The Macbook has either 256 or 512mb, so no AE acceleration.

Hi
You need a Nvidia graphics card with CUDA support to use hardware rendering in the new raytracing engine in CS6, and i am quite sure your macbook is using an AMD card. So you are limited to CPU rendering on your laptop, and the raytracer is a really sloooooow CPU raytracer :-(.... but quite ok speedwise IF you have a supported card.
