[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 709399, member: 24098"] To me, gaming on a laptop sucks in general. Small screens, underpowered CPUs, slower hard drives and buses are great compromises for energy and heat savings, but they just don't make for a good gaming experience. So, I maintain a desktop for gaming and a laptop for everything else. I bought a MacBook Pro because I wanted to have the option to play the occasional game in the odd event that I'm traveling - and Boot Camp is the perfect solution for that. In terms of price, performance, upgradeability and longevity, you really can't beat a desktop for gaming - period. Even if you're just a casual gamer. I love knowing that if the latest and greatest game comes out that just won't run on my current hardware, I can easily swap out the video card or the CPU relatively inexpensively and I'm back in business. No Apple hardware (including the Mac Pro) can be as easily or inexpensively upgraded. So, it just makes sense to maintain a Windows desktop, even if your gaming needs are occasional. [/QUOTE]
