- 15 inch MBP 2.5 ghz i7 16 GB Antiglare screen
Last year my college student son said he wanted an MBP for school as all the 'cool' students used one. I said "fine, but just remember that the MBP just doesn't do games all that well".
Now he says that he regretted getting the MBP because it won't play Mass Effect 3. So he's bugging me for a new PC gaming laptop.
Would Bootcamp and Win7 allow his current 2011 13 inch MBP (2.3 ghz i5 with the standard Intel HD Graphics 3000) to run this game at a reasonable level of performance? I'm not a gamer at all so I'm not much of a judge of the hardware aspects of what constitutes 'adequate' performance.
Thanks......and apologies ahead of time if this topic has been beaten to death already.
