[QUOTE="ebacherville, post: 325552, member: 26945"] Here is my experiance in switching.. I too was a hard core WIndows PC guy, How hardcore.. well lets see i ran a PC building repair and sales service for years then went to being a sys admin a miltimilliondollar company, using PC with win and a small bit of linux on the server side... did that for 4 + years then started Multimedia work on the PC stide first in Adobe Premiere aftereffects etc., then on to Sony Vegas.. still love Vegas for its speed and scalability.. SOny has done a great job with it. ANyway, I just bought a MAcbook as I was l.ooking for a smaller laptop than my 17" dell 1705 thats loaded to the gills.. After playing with it for about a hour i was so impressed with it and the Parrallells software that I WILL NEVER HAVE A NON OSX MACHINE AGAIN... I was verry sceptical of the claims of "full native speed" with parralls But it trully is just as fast as runningit nativly.. It is truly amazing... AND so convienient to have both OSX and WXP up together at the same time, The performace under parrallesl even while playing videoon both OSX and in Parallells is simply awsome.. I cant believe how slick it is. APple has the best hardware feature set out there, they have design down like no other company out there.. And reall y i prioced a Dell small formfactor PC with the same hardware specs and the dell was higher if you look at them apple for apple.. (pun Intended) Im not a gamer but Parallells is in its infantsy, it will improve and you will be able to play everythiung in Parallells, But if that doesnt work out well enough then just bootcamp your system and run native , really the intel video is pretty decent from what i have done with it , sure your not going to see 60+ FPS , but really TV is only 30 fps and movies are 24 fps and WoW should be no problem for this chipset.. You said you were not looking for super performace but playable.. It wiill be very playable, I see no reason why you wont like the macbooks performace. If you are wstyill owrries get a Macbook pro.. then your setup with a nice GPU. In My opinion, Once you go Intel-Mac, You'll Never go back. [/QUOTE]
