So check this out, the new MBP are going 2B released in this month, I'm very sketchy on Apple based software, I've heard that there is comparable if not better software on Apple than there is on a PC. I just dont see the point in running all the OS in a litle apple machine. I work @ Pc Club and one of my Techs is a mac user and states that he adores it. I've been playing with his mac for some time now, and there are killer features that you will not see in a pc laptop or desktop.

Well, the MBP can use boot camp so theoretically it can use windows. Personally, I don't think it's worth it to have to switch between OS' every time I want to use an OS specific app. Plus I like to play games so Mac Books aren't all that appealing to me. IMO, it is ENTIRELY personal opinion. If you've used OSX and feel you can deal with the different software and the not so game-ability then go for it. They are well built machines that are fairly well supported and are probably worth the money. I just haven't used one for long enough to get used to the OS. |

Thats the whole point, I am a gamer and I would want to get the full GFX acceleration in mac, and with parallel, that is possible. I just want to fully understand why I should get a mac, Ive been on their website, but that still does not convince me be why I should blow nearly 2 grand on a system |

I think for the most part if you want to game avoid Macs. While Macs are excellent multimedia machines, the X1600 they offer can not play games like RS6 Vegas and Oblivion at decent settings with eye candy which is what most people want. At the same time, I feel that in order to get a good gaming experience 2 grand is a reasonable price. It is hard to find a notebook that can play games WELL under the 1800 mark. If you aren't convinced by Apple to switch to their product then don't. Stick with what's comfortable for you and what you feel will give you the best all around experience. |

Ah, I didn't know it came with the 8600GT. That makes it a little more interesting. The old X1600 was a sad excuse for a GPU especially on a 17'' screen.

I hear you. And I agree. There is no point in comparing the two systems, afterall they are Different, even if they basicly do the same things. It's just easier to explain things when when you compare it to something that is similiar (Like a potato and turnip, they are Both Vegetables |
