How is the Macbook Pro as far as gaming goes?

[QUOTE="mike4realz"]

but to answer ur question, based on the hardware spec, it can run diablo 3 but at minimum tho.

If you consider sub-30 framerates to be "running", then yeah. Furthermore, people here aren't "windows fanboys". It's called being informed and thinking logically. There has never been a logical reason to justify to absolutely ludicrous premium price of Mac computers, and people who say there is never actually present their alleged reasons. Macs are overpriced and inferior in every measurable way. These are facts, not opinions.

TC, I believe you are getting ripped off, but am not going to argue, as it's your money. To answer your question, it will run, but probably not well, as in, minimum settings, and maybe lowered resolution.

But may I please ask your reasons for buying a Macbook Pro? I am genuinely interested, and it might stop all the crap you're getting from people in this thread.

I'm not going to go into much detail but I need a new laptop because my current laptop is really outdated, I prefer OS X, I dislike Windows, my iPhone 4S has always been running great and has never failed me and I just found the user experience to be really good and I find Macs to be on the same level (4S was my first Apple product in 4 years or so and I got it as a gift, my old phone was a Nexus S so I'm not blindly following Apple). I'm also getting a really good offer because I'm a student so the price difference between the Mac and other laptops I was considering is around $200 and I can afford it anyway so if it's a mistake then I don't really care but it doesn't look like it is. I should have known this topic would turn into Apple/Mac rather than if Diablo 3 can run on the MacBook Pro so I know if I should look forward to playing it when I get my MacBook next week. Thanks to the people who answered my questions :)Immortal--

You might not be able to play Diablo 3 (at the default res), but nevertheless, I'm sure you will enjoy your new Macbook. :) I wish I could have one, but can't afford it. :(

People already told you it wasn't going to run well. There's plenty of posts on it.

Yeah, if you absolutely have to get a Mac (for whatever surely ridiculous and uninformed reason), don't get anything with Intel graphics.
