Hi, i'm thinking about a Macbook Pro 15'' in the begining of 2011 and I want to know what games I can expect to be able to play. Could I play games like CoH, SC2 and Empire Total War? Thanks!
Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed 2, Bioshock, Half-Life 2, Diablo 2, Portal. If you set up a Bootcamp partition and install Windows (easy to do), pretty much any PC game.
What are the specs of the new Macbook Pros? The requirements for Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed 2 are surprisingly high in order to be able to play them well. The others you mentioned have surprisingly low reqs, though.
StarCraft 2 does run on my 13" MB (2.4 dualcore, 4GB RAM, GeForce 9400M) -- Couple of years old now, but it's lowest res, lowest GFX settings and it runs at just a touch over 20fps. iMac on the other hand, works totally awesome
