Upgrading computer worth it?

I am currently running Zwift on a mid 2009 Mac Book Pro. Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4G, graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB.

 

It works but the display is quite jittery. 

 

I was wondering if I got a new computer if I’ll see a noticeable improvement in performance?

I’m looking at a unit with the following specs, but don’t want to spend the $$ if I won’t notice much of a difference.

The graphics card is the main thing. The GTX 650 is Zwifts ‘recommend’ setup so should run things fine. 

Yes you will see a huge difference in graphics, resolution, and in my case, gameplay.  I went from a MacBook pro to the Alienware Alpha and everything looks and works much better.  Good luck.
