I am not much of a PC gamer, so I'm not too sure how good or bad my specs.
I have a new MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. Is there any chance this will run Portal on my MacBook? Thanks!

I mean this in the least rude way possible, but, Portal is free until the 24th! Download it and see for yourself! www.steampowered.com. Scroll down a little to download the steam client.
Whats your GPU? Portal will run on low settings. BTW: Laptops aren't really meant for gaming, and I don't really know much about Macs aside from the fact that they are extremely overpriced.coolmonkeykidYou should tell that to to all the companies who design notebooks specifically for gaming.

You can't blame peoples ignorance of what people think they have on the company who sells it to them.

I simply stated that while companies say that their product is a gaming laptop does not mean that it is a good choice for gaming.
I got an Asus G60vx..amazing laptop for the price and I play almost all games on highest settings with at least 30 fps guitarshr3dd3rASUS laptops are great. :) To the OP, since Portal is free until May 24th, do the smart thing and try it out. ;) There should be an entry somewhere in System Profiler that will tell you what your graphics adapter is, and that will be helpful for you to know if you want to try out other games in the future.

Agreed, and amazingly cheap, an asus i7 processor laptop with a gtx 260 for 1200, and its in 1080p, really good price compared to other stuff haha
Mine has an i7 and an HD5730. (I have the N61Jq model) It runs my games well enough that I love it. I'm currently playing Dragon Age on my laptop. Pretty laptop... *does Gollum impersonation, while mumbling 'preciousss'* I don't know the price tag for mine though, since it was a birthday gift.. :)ChiliDragon=O nice!! only thing I wanna upgrade for mine is the processor and ram, I wish I could osmehow put a quadcore in mine haha

I told my husband birthday gifts like that is why I married him ;) (And then I cooked his favorite dinner, just to prove my point.) I have 4GB RAM already... I will take it up to 8GB when the price drops though, and probably upgrade the CPU as well. It's a 720 i7, so it could be better. At the same time, as long as it runs games okay I am happy with it... though I'm really, REALLY tempted to throw an SSD in there...
