[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1031088, member: 140470"] Well you should research the recommended specs needed for the games you are interested in. You can do that easily with a Google search or go to an internet store that sells games and it will list the specs needed. I have a faster computer than what you are getting and I don't play that many games so your needs might be different. Some games need a better graphics card or faster processor so you should research the games you are interested in. Also the newer Apple MacBook Pros are rumored to be released soon which should have the i5 Intel processors so it should make your decision easier if you can wait. All I can tell you is from my own experience. It normally takes me about 30 seconds to bootup and a few seconds to shut down. Sleep mode is near instant when sleeping and waking up. If you leave about 15% or so free on your hard drive then you shouldn't experience slow down of your hard drive. Mac OS doesn't like it when you fill up the hard drive. Macs require less maintenance than Windows from what I have experienced. [/QUOTE]
