    Hello, I have yet to purchase a new 15" Macbook Pro of my own, although I am interested in the FPS that these new laptops can produce. I am an occasional gamer and realize that these new GPU's are about middle class and may be able to play a few of the newer games at mid-high settings although they have 512MB. Any FPS benchmarks out there with specs of their laptops? I had a i7 2.66ghz, high res screen 1680 by 1050 , 4gb RAM in mind.

    wow.. the 13" Macbook Pro's 320m scores 1000 higher in 3DMark06 than a discrete 310m.... impressive to score a 4754 with integrated graphics.

    The ONLY game I play on my Mac is Starcraft II beta on Windows 7 and I can say it rocks at 1440x900 with everything maxed out.
