I have been a historic user of laptops for many years but have recently been considering a change to Mac (I have all the other Apple bits and bobs). My issue is that I mainly use my Laptop for MMORPG and I can find very little information on how a Mac stacks up against the rest. Any help would be appreciated.
Get a sturdy pc.
MacBook Pro's are not designed as gaming machines. However, if you want to use one for gaming, there are only two models you should look at: 15" or 17"...they're the only models with dedicated GPU's. But, neither can match a dedicated PC gaming laptop. If games are your thing, stick with a gaming PC laptop.
I can play 3D games just fine on my 17" MBP. And if you want to play a game that is not available for the Mac, you can always install Windows on a second partition or external drive using Boot Camp, and run whatever games you want.
If you are looking for something just to play games on, and very little else, sig and wjosten are probably right that a cheap gaming PC is probably the best option. But if you're looking first and foremost for a good computer to use for other things, and want to be able to play games on it too, a MBP will do just fine.
Mac for Gaming
