Getting a Macbook Pro i7 in June. I also own an iPhone 3GS.
I'm getting a MBP i7 today and I would like to hook it up to my TV and sound system via HDMI. How capable is the MBP at running 1080p? Will I be able to play games fluidly at that resolution? Thanks.

You shouldn't have a problem I wouldn't think. The GPU in there is more then powerful enough to handle that resolution. In terms of games fluidly - it'd ultimately depend on the game and the settings within the game. The GPU that's in there is a class 2 mobile GPU, fairly high in the class 2 list if I recall correctly (see: Notebookcheck: Notebook & Laptop Reviews and News ) so it should handle games fairly well.

You shouldn't haven't any problems playing back video at 1080p either.

Haha, 1080p isn't anything. I had a higher pixel density monitor on my powermac G5 with 32MB of video RAM back in 2004. It was an apple cinema display at 1920x1200. So yea, it'll be fine. Easily.
