Runs really really well. I am using boot camp on my Macbook pro with windows 7 and I can run a ton of games well. I can play Fallout 3 pretty well with all settings at medium. So WoW on the Mac OSX should be fine at the least.

I still don't understand why people get macs in the first place if they are going to put windows on it. Macs have the SAME hardware that PCs use now, macs are just overpriced versions of it. What your really paying for is the white/black design and the stupid operating system that you don't seem to use anyways.

Well, I like using the Mac OS for work and school, since I don't have my desktop PC with me at my dorm I have windows 7 so I can play my games (which is the only thing I use windows for). And well besides snow leopard I like my macbook pro because it looks great. Aesthetics are important to me just like graphics are important to gamers and looks of cars are important to drivers. Yeah I pay more for a good sleek design, it's not a big deal.

The Pro will run it just fine. My college room mate had one and we both played WoW together. He never mentioned it having any issues, and from what I saw it didn't really have any. Then again, WoW really isn't all that demanding of a game.

WoW isn't hard to run at all. I could probably run 3 or 4 copies on my PC at once.

Without shadows yes. With shadows, it's not so easy.
