-Tibia

Hi Aerozin,

1) That's hard to say. Montevina is around the corner, but Apple does not always update the MacBook right away. It can very well happen, but at the same time it might not. I will say though, Montevina is not a huge improvement, the current MacBooks will be fine without it. Nehalem in early 2009 is the one to watch!

 

2) Maybe at lowest setting and resolution. IGPs (integrated graphics processors) are never recommended if you want to game.

 

how about the 15 inch macbk pro. that can play games cuz it has the 8600m gt.

 

i was between a macbook pro and a macbook (still am lol) but 13 inch is so small and portable i can carry it to any place

 

How much money are you willing to spend? If you want to game I recommend a macbook pro. They can be picked up pretty cheap refurb from apple.

 

The MacBook Pro definitely can play those games fine. The thing is, the MacBook Pro is very light for a 15.4-inch notebook. Its only 0.4 pounds heavier than a MacBook, and only a little larger, so if you can afford it, I'd definitely get a MacBook Pro!

 

I see many people say that, but it's not so black and white. It depends on the game, it's system requirements. For instance, older games would run fine on an x3100.

 

money is not the problem , but 15 inch is so big :S


my life would be so more easy if macbook had 8400 gs

 

Haha, the 15.4-inch MBP isn't that bad, because the MacBook is a bit big for 13.3-inch notebooks and the MBP is a bit small for 15.4-inch notebooks. Really, the MBP is only slightly larger, a little thinner and comes with a lot more benefits!

 

im going to some apple reseller here im my country and see then both on my hand , than i will be more able to choose

 

Here's a comparison picture of the MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro. Of course, the ridiculous thinness of the MBA makes the MacBook Pro look really thick , but its not! The MacBook Air and the MacBook have similar dimensions, so you can see the size difference here:

 

I recommend that. Once I could see them in person, I was convinced.

 

omg its the same lol

u have a screen comparing mb and mbp?

 

Here's a post from MacRumors that has several comparison pictures:

You can see its not that much more, and the MBP looks much sleeker .

 

Wow, those are great pics, especially to compare screen brightness between the two. Thanks Sam!

 

Thanks sam , im going on a macbookpro

thanks all member for ur time

 

Keep us updated on how it goes, Aerozin!

And yes talin29, it amazes me how bright the MacBook Pro can be. I mean, even my MacBook screen, I feel is really bright (I need to turn it down in most cases)!

 

If you can afford it the Pro is the way to go.
