Can you try Counter Strike Source please? Also what do you think of COD4? I'm looking at buying the MacBook 2.0 Ghz. I really want to play COD4, will it be possible?
Hey guys, this new macbook is looking pretty good. i have just one question. If it can play all the above games ok, does that mean it will handle sporting games like fifa 09? also would it handle Flight sim X. obviously Im talking about through boot camp.
So do you guys think the macbook should be ok for starcraft 2 and diablo 3? Or should I get a pro instead
Given that both games aren't out yet, I don't think anyone can say for sure... but I would expect the new Macbooks to run them quite nicely.So do you guys think the macbook should be ok for starcraft 2 and diablo 3? Or should I get a pro instead

Here's another video comparing the Intel GMA950 and the 9400M in Photoshop and with CoD4. Not really a great comparison since it's a Sony running Windows vs. the Macbook running OS X, but it's still worth a look:

Yeah but most Mac users aren't justing in it for the gaming experience... it's just a nice side benefit.Dunno about you guys, but having put up with the pissant X3100 on the MacBook for so long, I finally did the one sensible thing and traded the set for a BenQ notebook, with plenty to spare. Ben who? Just google it up. The design of this thing is a joy to behold, and it is a triumph on the outside and in, but most importantly it is a big win on both CPU and GPU. I ran 3DMark on it a few months back and got this result.
3DMark06 (running @ default 1280x800): 3150
SM2.0 Score: 1216
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 1188
CPU Score: 1732
The build is steady. The chassis doesn't feel hot on your palms or thighs. It comes with HDMI and VGA output that doesn't need another adapter. And best of all, it plays Crysis well enough at medium settings. I bought this a few months ago, and now BenQ has come up with S42 that has faster CPU and Nvidia 9600M, which together scores over 5000 in 3DMark06.
The price? S42 is cheaper than the new MacBook.
i just bought far cry 2 and it works REALLY well on my new MacBook (2.0ghz), i have the resolution on the highest settings and all other settings on high and its still very playable! very impressed!
the game seems good so far too! recommended!
