    Ijust saw a ad video staring steve jobs . he says how mac beats sony games, and game boy vs. ipod and how ipod has 27,000+titles. sony300+titles and game boy 5000+ game titles. wall street news said that mac will soon takeover the hand held gaming industry. steve failed on the pc vs. mac gaming industry; but is this his way of playing catch up? or did he really think that life wouldnt get much better than pong or 3-d space invaders. what fool would waist time on games or gaming? as for me i play games ut 2004 5150% of the time.and the other 50% gets hacked up between work ,t.v and online shopping.so why a mac?well it works like a mac truck i abuse it leave it on 24-7 not too many viruses after1.2yrs it still gets dropped qnd its sort of dirty my key(one)sticks.and the best part is the osystem .just a few" are you sure" signs.its the best laptop for under 1000 bucks(999.00)but i'm thinkin of an x box or a cheap pc made for gaming. thanks for your valuable time-lute

    Spore.. We all know about that.

    Sims 3 - Terrible performance and lower quality graphics than PC.

    WoW - well....

    Not tried CoD yet.


    Civ 4 has TERRIBLE memory leaks that make it sluggish on even a 2.4Ghz, 8600GT Macbook Pro.

    NWN 2 - same as above.

    You really shouldn't buy a Mac for gaming. You'd be living a deluded life. Just Bootcamp 'em.
