Very pleased with game performance on my MBP!

Gutted the one the missus got me is wrong, for a Macbook Air which is too big!

Just checked my box and there wasn't one in there?

Really needed to get one today or tomorrow, not many options really....grrr...

Yeahl, it was a £20 upgrade to get it bundled in. Horrible thing though! It's really big!

Just waiting to get through to an Apple store nearby and see if they have one in stock!

Can I ask what case you have? If at all

I need something that is well padded but can carry the power pack preferably not looking like a big lump on the side of the case lol

Bah I would get neither and build a crazy monster of a pc and dual boot linux mint and windows vista on it and laugh at you with your far inferior computers. Mwuhahahahahahaha.

Yes but you're mental.

I can't say I like the look of Alienware computers. Maybe your computer looking like an alien would have been cool around the millennium but I don't think it's the same now.

I love the look of my Macbook, I don't play massive high end graphics munching games just some source based stuff so the MBP suits my needs in that way

Apple machines are just not made for games, it's always been a weakness of the specifications.

Aside from that, I find them pretty great machines. Thinking of picking up the highest end MacBook Pro in a week or so. I'm sending the bill to yourself.

I got a Swordfish Zip2Go 15.4" laptop jacket as a Christmas present from my girlfriend. Just gave it a try to see if it fits and it does, snugly.

Seems nice and padded and has storage for cables while not being too big. Also has handles for carrying.

Check it out!

Once the OpenCL business comes to fruition, that'll be a reason beside games to include beefy GPUs.
