[QUOTE="nukemm, post: 342528, member: 23903"] I've wanted to try a Mac for a long time, but I also play games. When the Intel chips were introduced in the latest Macs, I actually started seriously considering the switch. While I was in Singapore last spring I spent hours in the Apple store and got convinced that I wanted a Mac. When I got back from deployment in August I wanted to buy a Mac immediately, but I had a wedding to pay for, and that took financial priority. After the wedding I had a some extra money, but my wife & I kept finding stupid things that needed money pretty frequently, so I didn't get to upgrade for a while. In December I got a surprise paycheck that had some back-pay in it, and I had been talking to a few guys at church that use Macs, including the media producer that broadcasts live via his Mac, and decided to get my feet wet with a Mini. I loved my Mini, but craved more, so with some of my tax return I bought my 17" MBP, which is also an upgrade on the PC side of things, allowing me to run my games even better. I was in the market for a laptop, because I spend so much time out to sea, and I didn't want to compromise. Now I run OS X and Windows XP on my MBP, and truly am enjoying the best of both worlds. :D [/QUOTE]
