Author Topic: The Macbook Pro is a gaming pc :o  (Read 1926 times)

For its price it better be able to run tf2.

Remember a dual core for a mac is like a Window's single core. Their GUI rapes yo CPU fool. Although it doesn't seem that bad of a gaming comp but what the forget is Nvidia9400M? I know of the 9400GT but not the "M". Also you may run it on max settings but what's your average frame rate?
Mobile.

Tom

I don't think you could find a non-mac laptop that can perform just as well for a similar price.

Source games don't need much to run

9400 isn't that great of a card.  Mobile version's even worse.


Not just in a Pro. My plain white Macbook has these specs :P

Popular to contrary belief, Snow Leopard with the new laptop's hardware is actually a fairly good gaming laptop.

They hold their charge very well too.

Mac's are stuff.

olol.

forget off Oasis. It's a generic underestimate. Old Macs are stuff. New Macs are awesome. Again, I come back to the argument that, if Macs are soooo gay then, why are they so popular around the world, in schools and in the general public. Microsoft seem to be very tunnel visioned, they do not acknowledge that there is an equally good computer on the market, so they choose not to make software that works with Macs too. In the last year or two this has become more or less the general view of the Microsoft company, although there is a version of Microsoft Office available for the Mac, but has to be brought separately to the Windows version. Macintosh, however, do have software that runs on both platforms, same CD, although there are some that only work on Macs.

Microsoft doesn't make the games that are incompatible with Macs.

Independent gaming companies don't bother usually to make their games Mac compatible because no one games on Macs. They are overpriced, ignorant, and incapable of functionality.

Macs are for people who need help every step of the way. PCs are for people who can figure things out, and that want to do more on their computer.

I wouldn't call under 10% of personal computers "popular".

Macs are for people who need help every step of the way. PCs are for people who can figure things out, and that want to do more on their computer.
Or people who are technologically savy but like the GUI?

Not all mac users are idiots.

Although what pisses me off is that MBPs have extra vents.

My macbook can get 90º fahrenheit which is practically on fire.

Okay so it can play shooting games, Blockland, and web games.

Wonderful.
