[QUOTE="CrimsonRequiem, post: 1064717, member: 62286"] As much as I want to game on an Mac it doesn't seem to pan out that way. Sure it can game but don't expect anything ground breaking especially when you can make a dedicated gaming rig for half the price of MBP and outperform it. It's okay in a pinch when you want to game in between classes or something. The MBP is an all around good multi use notebook. It does a little bit of everything but notebooks and gaming still don't mix very well together. Considering the pricing and performance you get out of it. I'm making two gaming rigs this summer. One for myself which is around 2 grand, and another that is 700 dollars for my cousin. I gotta say that the 700 dollar budget rig (Tricore/Quadcore if I can unlock the other core) is looking pretty awesome considering it only has 1 GPU right now. It can easily be made to have two. The plus side to building your own of course is expandability and being able to upgrade. Although you having building rigs yourself I'm sure you know this already. [/QUOTE]
