Anyone know places to buy with loads to choose from?
Im a new macbook user so, pretty lost

epicentre in pavilion, machines in midvalley, maccity in one utama... all selling games & software for mac.

my preference would be epicentre, cause they have a lot more titles available & are nicely stacked... seem like new stocks compared to others,

Yup. Epicentre does have a lot of game titles.

time to check hehe to be honest i never been to pavilion lol

yeh, same here.. its next to midvalley aye? I only have about a week left in Malaysia, should check it out soon

does the sims 2 work with macbook?

Yup...
go get it from epi center...

It's just opposite Star Hill and i think Epicentre has more games than Machines.

Games for Mac at Epicentre taken on November.

has been to buy my ipod touch.. at pavilion..
got a lot of games in epicentre
check it out

Ahh, I went to Epicentre today, lolz. They're out of Civilization IV, sad sad. Guess I'll buy it elsewhere.

no The Sims 2

i go to Pavilion from Melaka just to buy The Sims 2, but sold out

I wana re-phrase that... does it work OK or WELL or GOOD or VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT with MacBook? And also, MacBook which model?

nothing works well with macbook, different story for a macbook pro but. from what i was told.

thats the thing with apple la... MacBook Pro can la... but too expensive...

btw, what's your macbook gen? Latest 1? or using GMA950? From what i heard la, X3100 (santa rosa macbook) mac driver very cacat, even worse than GMA950.

Well, for gaming, i would recommend you go install winxp or vista. X3100 performs great in windows side. Can run nfs:pro street in good shape but definitely not FPS genre. Sims2 i hav not tested in my macbook yet. Performance should be great

dont have la... lol... wana get new one... i would prefer imac la, but seeing as how i would need it for uni and all, think should get laptop... so just asking... i mean, my current pc sux, but i wana play sims 2... i got the pc game, but cant play so its just lying there collecting dust...

so i was thinking if i get new computer, i wana be able to play sims 2... at the same time, i wana try out mac... never used before, but seems very cool! my dad friend said that he didnt want to change from pc to mac coz must learn new stuff, but his son convinced him, and now he LOVES it!

so, IF can only then i want la... if cannot then i dono... mite get mac, mite not... but i really wana experience mac...

From what I read on other Sims forums, Sims won't run so smoothly on a MacBook. The base game alone should be fine, but the performance would deteriorate with every expansion pack installed.

I used to play Sims on a laptop that had the GMA950. Several graphic options were unavailable, and after extended game play, the textures would go blurry despite my settings set to the highest. I experienced a fair bit of lag too on big lots, or lots that had a lot of Sims on them. (If it helps, I had 1.5GB of RAM on that laptop.)

well, if you are a "gamer" la.. You have to fork extra buck in mac machines(such as macbook pro) and also you have to install winxp/vista too. mac games are extremely few. They are "countable" I'm not sure about sims2, i know EA games nowadays like NFS:Carbon mac version. it is using cider (kinda emulation). Performances sux big time if you compare in windows via the same mac machine. And integrated graphic card don't support at all, meaning macbook and mac mini can't play. iMac? Btw, do you know that iMac is using mobile (laptop) component?

All the best dude. If you don't play game much, you sure "enjoy" mac. If you're gamer, i think no point. After all, you still need to use windows. Only few games can play in mac os btw.

well i hav not test. I think i should test it. Technically, X3100 performs better than GMA950. Benchmark (windows) shows 2x better compare to 950.

hhmm... i guess gaming is out la... i got a ps3 anyway, but sims 2 is one of my fav games... macbook pro too expensive... rm7,500 the cheapest! its ok la... thanx for the help guys...

you can always buy another brand.

another brand wat?

Another brand of laptop, I presume?

Macs not for games

only support some games.

yeh, other brands of laptops. A friend of mine was pretty angry that Im buying a mac, said I could get a better laptop cheaper than apple, that isnt the point, is it?

i mean, i dont get gaming out of it yea, but i dont get gaming at the moment with my pc too... so to me, doesnt make a difference... however, i do want the mac experience! never used before and looks like its very cool! i was just hoping the gaming could be a bonus... but seems like it cant...

can. It depend on which type of games. And you need windows for games. RTS, Racing, MMORPG and etc.. All can, except FPS (such as crysis and oblivion). Half-Life2 no problem cos the game is quite old. Any games below the year of 2006 can play smoothly. If you looking for "future games", then macbook is really no-no due to intel integrated graphic. Else, go for macbook pro.

I own a macbook, i lovin'. Can play most of my favour games too (mostly racing games, RTS like DOW and not to mention MMORPG ).
