[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1103218, member: 24098"] Agreed. Gaming sucks on a laptop anyway, the form-factor just doesn't lend itself well to a good immersive experience. I do most of my computing on a MBP. But I do maintain a Windows box for gaming. I find it liberating to be able to change my graphics card at will or swap out motherboards as new processors and technologies are released. I can't do that with a notebook (even those with upgradable GPUs offer very limited and costly options). I'd say go with the cheaper MBP and build yourself a custom gaming rig. It's like having the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
