Ok, it has to be a massively powerful one. I have a macbook pro, but I’m planning to get a different one for games. Anyone know of a good gaming laptop? Again, price is not an issue (I’ll decide :P) I’m just having trouble making a choice.

Share some wisdom?

You can use Apple’s BootCamp to dual-boot Windows XP/Vista along-side Mac OS X . I do this on my 2 year old iMac to play games, and it works a charm!

The Macbook Pro usually has a fairly decent video card (not the best, but good enough).

Try doing that! Saves you buying a whole new computer :)

If you are intent on spending a lot and are not married to Mac you can customize this with an additional $4000’s worth of goodies

I absolutely hate laptops, especially for games. I’m just saying that beause I’m not used to those tiny buttons. I can’t even write on laptop keyboard, I always press 2 keys at a time. I’m a computer fan, with a big keyboard and mouse :D.

You guys all use Macs? I have an Acer, running windows Vista. Had no problems at all, everything is running fast and smooth. Would recommend it, but guess you should listen to the more experienced on FD :)
