the new mac book is absolutly georgeous. i was checking one out today. though i am totally bemuzed as to why the hell apple have configured the macbook with a crappy intel gma 950 graphics processor with a 64mb of ddr2 sdram. - how the hell are you supposed to play decent games on that?!! plus its shared with the system memory - i mean WHY? and wtf were apple thinking... :rolleyes:
sorry. i just really wanted to get that off my chest... and now i have...

    If you want better specs, you can pay extra for more ram, or buy the Pro.
    Supply and demand baby

    come on. okay the game range is fairly limited. but apple have been wanting to be taken seriously in the gaming market for some time now so it absolutly beats me as to why the would put such a crappy graphics card in the new macbook with no option to upgrade. i mean, world of warcraft is one of my favourite games atm - its absolutly fantastic on the iMac - but i doubt it could play so seamlessly on the new macbook.

    yeah. it has the adi radeon (sp?) card installed, same as the iMac. but it just doesn't look nearly as good.

    If you are going to buy a gaming laptop... just stear clear of Mac's tbh.

    I mean, come on. Cheaper and more powerful windows based laptops are just better for games.

    True.

    Macs win at work stuff.

    Windows at lesuire.

    Linux is a good compromise.

    It's what you chose in the end. And now Mac is using Intel, things are looking up for Crapple! :yippe:

    Maybe i'll even start using a Mac agian in the future.
