<p>if you are into hardcore gaming use a desktop. Get a $1000 laptop if you just want to play games at medium. You don't need a $2k + like everyone says.</p>
<p>"Get a Mac. Good for gaming."</p>
<p>Um, what's sarcastic about that?</p>
<p>My daily gaming machine is a 15" MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, with the nVidia 8600M GT and 4GB of RAM. Runs COD4 at 1440x900 (full-res) quite well, along with HL2, TF2 and most anything else I'll throw at it. Sure, it'll probably choke on Far Cry 2, but oh well, I'm not heartbroken over missing one or two games.</p>
<p>It takes 5 minutes to reboot from Mac to PC, and voila, I'm gaming.</p>
<p>Try the XPS m1530.</p>
