[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1381712, member: 8287"] I am sort of shocked someone has not answered the Blu Ray and other questions. I know Stock, a Mac will not play Blu Ray as there is no Blu Ray drive included with any Mac. I am sure an external drive would work and remember someone here doing that. HD? Sure it will play HD videos. Apple sells HD videos on their store. Gaming? To "ME" No Notebook is a great heavy duty gaming machine. There are some EXPENSIVE and HEAVY and Power Hungry Gaming notebooks with awful battery life that do a good job with demanding games, but I still prefer a good gaming desktop for that. The best Mac I own is an iMac with a C2D CPU, 4GB RAM And older ATI Radeon HD2600 but a lot of decent games play quite well and this is a older machine. I am sure the MBP would do a decent job with the games you listed. As far as the software you use for your doctor work, not sure. That you can find out from the people who make your software. If it's not available, there maybe other solutions that will do the same job for the Mac. I think the main reason people did not try and help more is to most it really looks like you NEED a PC with Windows for your doctors stuff. Like I said though there might be ways around that issue. You can always install Windows 7 via Bootcamp or under a VM and run that doctors software. [/QUOTE]
