[QUOTE="RastajeleN, post: 1616585, member: 336680"] Hello, I was wondering if the community here could help me out with one decision. I need to decide whether to upgrade my current macbook pro or buy a new one, but since I am not a tech guy nor big on gamingwise important PC components I am asking for your help. [B]Currently I have:[/B] Macbook Pro 13" (Mid-2010) [B]What am I using it for: [/B] Regular school work, amateur short movie clip editing and for me most importantly [B]gaming[/B] - that is only WoW and LoL. [B]Problem[/B]: In both games I have 30 fps on average on low graphic settings. Plus, I cannot have any other apps turned on - I find it very frustrating now, as it is getting worse and worse. [B]What do I want[/B]: 1. Stick to OS X. I know it is truly not the smartest choice if I care about playing games on it the most. But I got used to it and I love it. 2. Around 70 FPS on High settings. That is in WoW and LoL. 3. 15" mb. [B]Variant A:[/B] Upgrade my current macbook, get a SSD disc and better RAM. However, would that increase my fps at all? [B]Variant B:[/B] Get a new macbook pro, specifically macbook pro retina 15", the basic one. As I can get it without VAT in my country. Meaning it would cost around 2,200 dollars. Any suggestions? I really only plan to play WoW and LoL. No battlefield 3 or any other high-gaming games. I do not want Windows (well, at the moment, I know it would be cheaper). I am asking about the efficiency of the newest mb pros in those 2 games. Any suggestions and recommendations are very much appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
