[QUOTE="kamikaze148, post: 1206258, member: 196028"] First post for me, Yeah basically have the exact same question regarding the baseline 15 inch MBP. Currently have a decently specc'ed Windows PC gaming rig, can run any game thrown at it, but lately the only game i seem to play is WoW. (such is the way with Azeroth, lol). So im tossing up between getting the 13 inch baseline model, and insall WoW on crappy minimal graphics, and keep my gaming PC for more demanding WoW gaming situations. Or to sell my gaming PC rig and use the funds ontop of the money i have saved for the baseline 15 inch model, as it offers more screen real estate, and a better gfx card. Ive seen youtube videos of WoW performance with the 13 inch model, and although they are perfectly acceptable, i like a little bit of the settings turned up, and at the very least, a smooth framerate. So yeah, anyones experience with the baseline 15 inch model with the 6490m can offer any suggestions/advice?. what sort of framerates can i expect with 1440 res and mid to decent graphics settings?. Sort of getting out of play PC games, tend to play console more, but WoW is still a priority for me, otherwise my MBP is primarily going to be used for Audio Production and University. [/QUOTE]
