WoW Forever on Mac
Mac is an official platform. The minimum is macOS 12, M2 or 9th-generation Intel, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of free SSD space; the recommended row names macOS 15 and M4.
What the Mac table actually names
Battle.net's Mac minimum is macOS 12, Apple M2 or 9th-generation Intel Core (Coffee Lake), 8 GB memory, and 128 GB of free SSD space. The GPU row names Metal-capable 4 GB graphics or Apple M2 with 8 GB. The recommended row names macOS 15, M4 with 16 GB, and the same 128 GB free SSD space. Outpost's independent guide reproduces those rows; M1 is unlisted in both.
Install through the Battle.net desktop app and select the Forever version. The Mac requirements differ from the Windows GPU architecture cutoff, so a Windows GPU result does not establish Mac support. GeForce NOW is a separate streaming route on its supported devices; it does not establish that a Mac meets native requirements. The store gives required free space, without specifying download or installed size.

Questions
Is there a separate Mac box?
No. The account and the desktop app are the install.
Do presets matter on Mac?
Yes. Enhanced defaults to HD models. Classic defaults to SD models. Both are reversible.
