Macbooks and Gaming?

B. Clawhammer · 01-11-2007, 01:13 AM

Are there any Apple laptops that are good for gaming? I know that a few are pretty decent for video projects, but how about for running games such as BF2 and R6Vegas?

Don't know if BF2 is available for Apple, but the macbook pro with the ATI X1600 looks pretty freaking sweet. I saw a link on Consumerist where they're selling refurbished MB Pros for less than $2000.

Using the Apple BootCamp software you can install windows XP on a Mac and have a dual boot system then I would suppose you can install games via the windows xp partition...

or so I read someplace..LOL

You can, the only trick is that you need to have SP2 boot discs or Vista. This sucks for me since I have Pre SP1 discs. If only I could create an SP2 disc... So far I haven't found a way :/
