mba use for gaming

Actually if capable of gaming then why not?
I see the mbp and mba using same graphics rite?

how about mba processor?

'gaming' doesnt have to be black ops... flight control HD also gaming what ;p

Went to Apple Store London just now...damn its a super large store and they let ppl play all gadgets with free wifi connection. And everybody was playing with facebook

For me, if i get mba, then its not for gaming anymore... Hehehe...

took by mine the other day

Is that a real MBA?

im guessing making a bootable USB windows installer is the hard part

im pretty sure that's a real MBA. but notice the string/wire on top of the balloon

who says mba not suitable for gaming? *of course it isn't built for it* but u can search in youtube got a lot of videos showing ppl playing black ops, modern warfare 2, starcraft, crysis etc. me myself i installed need for speed most wanted, dota, angry birds, plant vs zombies and red alert 3 in my new mba. runs pretty smooth at certain graphic settings. *starts to lag at highest setting, but not dota coz old game* the processors only show its true color when ure dealing with imovie or some processor intense softwares. *thats what ive read tho* mba is just powerful enough to do such stuffs like what ive stated. cheers for the mba!

im using the 11" with 128gb flash, 1.4GHz C2D with 3MB L2 cache and 2GB 1067MHz DDR3.

i think using vmware or parallel desktop is much better than bootcamp? no need to create a bootable usb etc. what u need is only the installer file (just copy from cd to usb in other mac with super drive) and windows/linux iso. got many tutorials in youtube just search for it. im using parallel desktop 6 in my MBA. working with multiple OS is easier this way, plus with the coherence mode made it much more easier

agreed.
im using parallel desktop

I'm officially mac user

for most cases yes, but if u need to squeeze as much performance as u can, then bootcamp is the way to go

Welcome to the mac community

May I know how do you get red alert 3 on Mac? Is it available in Mac version?

Btw folks, I have a few invisibleSHIELD for MacBook Pro 13 lying around. Lemme know if anyone is interested. Thanks

I just installed need for speed undercover for windows using Parallels.. The graphic is not really smooth but still playable. I have increased the default ram to 2gb and change the CPU:2

Will install PES 11 later

guys, i'm looking for an entry level mac. I'm confused whether i should buy the 13' macbook or macbook pro.

which one would you recommend?
