[QUOTE="Zinryu, post: 1214007, member: 197431"] I don't own a Mac but I have been looking into getting one. I have had a Dell for the past couple of years and it has worked well and done everything I want for it to do. However it is getting up there in age. Ive had it for 3 years and I am looking to replace it soon. I have been checking out the new Mac Book Pros. The one in particular is the 15 inch, 2.2 GHz quad core i7, 8 GB or ram, AMD Radeon HD 6750 with 1 GB GDDR5. The first question I have is can it run 3 different OSs on it. I have friends who run Windows and Snow Leopard but I want also run Ubuntu. The second question, how well would it handle games once Windows was installed. For example, could it play Shogun 2 Total War or Call of Duty. I know a lot of people say you should just get a PC if you are going to game but I like Mac Books and the hardware that comes with them. Let me know what you guys think. Not sure if this is were this post is supposed to go since I have multiple questions. It seems like a hardware question since I am asking if the system can handle these things. [/QUOTE]
