all computers use pixels, including Macs, and pretty much every monitor after 2003 can support a decent resolution.

It's a joke, he's saying Macs come with higher resolutions than the average PC which is pretty true. Laptops that come with Windows usually have 1366x768 resolution and I believe that's it, I don't think you can configure it any higher (at least when I bought mine). Mac laptops have 1400x900 and you can configure it to like 1600x900, I believe they have "retina" displays and they used to have a glossy version or something (I don't remember what the glossy was).

Thank you Altiris. Exactly what I meant.

i've seen lots of windows laptops that support 1920x1080, which is way more than a mac laptop

Yeah, a lot of games aren't compatible with Macs, but that's the developer's fault, so it isn't an issue at the moment. I hope you're not serious about the above bolded text, though (unless you're testing these games on pre-2006 models). I run multiple games (even certain windows games) on my Mac; almost all of them at medium or higher graphics settings. And that's running on a 2008 model with Intel Core 2 Duo and only 256mb of video RAM.
Also, all Macs are expensive, there's not much of a reason to separate them into categories. :/

first of all what games
and second of all there is no way you can run most new games at those settings with more than 20 fps
unless you are playing some old games like gta sa or something like that
