What wonderful opinions on macs you all have O.o !!! i just got a mack book pro laptop with an Intel core 2 duo E6600 and an Nvidia 8600GS or GT whatever and 2 gigs of RAM. Its absolutly amazing!! i had to get it for the same reason Mikoyan did because of school. we have to get macks because i am in schooling to become a sound engineer and Protools and other sound software that is leet runs on mac... but we have to put windows on it because we have to learn Sony vegas pro 8 :) So it will be very easy to put games on my mac with XP on it using Boot camp utility. under the skin of my mac it is basicaly like any other laptop out there only with mac operating system. that is one of the only things that differs it from other laptops. its the same hardware. i will defiantly be playing games on my mac and it will probably run almost equal to my desktop computer because the hardware is very alike. In my opinion i really did not like macs until i got one but they are becoming more equal if you think. there is nothing different than my mac and a Dell XPS exept for the operating system.
