why would you get a mac if you just want it for games..


and a mac that can run decent games 1000+

PC might be 700+
No more like $2000 if you don't want it to suck ass.

An equivalent Windows computer would cost at least around $1200.

why do you have a mac if you like games

How much is a new mac that won't lag me like hell?
Significantly more then a pc that would run it at the same speed. 3D games running in mac OSX have to use open GL which means that for the same hardware, running the games in windows would result in nearly a 2x jump in performance. In short running the games on a mac mean they will run half as well as a pc with the same hardware because Direct X is just so significantly better then open GL

Is this a good Computer to use with no lag and play games?

No.

The graphics card is horrid. You NEVER want an Intel graphics card. Intel may be good for processors, but in no way are they good with their cards.

Do you have a specific budget? I have a nice HP that can run TF2 on max bookmarked, and if I saw what your price range is, I could show you.

Around $500 but I want a laptop

I also have a problem with one game on mac steam. I can never join a server or start one in CSS. It worked fine before, but now it crashes every time. I checked the integrity of the files, defragmented them, reinstalled, and nothing.
