[QUOTE="prach138, post: 1570197, member: 320543"] I have a macbook pro, specs are: 10.7.5 2.4 ghz intel core i7 4gb 1333 Mhz DDR3 15.4 inch hd graphics 3000 384 mb I just received it from my father after my late 2007 macbook went down. While it was my fathers, it was mainly reserved for video editing on FCP7 (I'll be upgrading to premier at some point). I have a desktop, that I would use for moderate gaming (TF2 is the most graphically demanding game I play). Now, after receiving this macbook, I would like to consolidate my computing down to one machine, the macbook pro. My only concern is that my gaming will cause more wear and tear on this machine that I would like and would eventually lead to it's demise. On top of gaming I'll be doing video editing. I don't play for too long at a time, it is just mainly casual, but I would hate to see another mac product go down. These are just too expensive to treat lightly (either that, or I am just paranoid). I play my games on low, and like I said, not that often. Do I really have anything to worry about? TF2 looks fine when I play it (FPS wise), it is just the heat that worries me. It got hotter when I had the graphics turn up higher, now it's not so bad. I guess I'm just looking for peace of mind. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
