or depending on what year they give us it could be these specs for the 2010 macbook
# 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

# 250GB hard drive1
# 8x double-layer SuperDrive
# NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics

if you get the 320m
-pretty much any source game on medium settings
-COD4/5/MW2 on lower settings

If you get 9400m
-source games on low settings
-cod if you enjoy 15fps

Any game that meets the specs of the computer, as you can install windows on it. Most games you will be able to run on Medium settings though.

Should be able to run any source game on it, once valve has them all out

I'm jealous always wanted a laptop, even when I was in my mother's womb

ya ur lucky. all i have is my dads hand-me-down laptop. old gateway (amd 64 turion cpu rated at i believe 1.6 ghz but i could be wrong, originally 512mb but upgraded that to 1gb, 60gb hard drive, broken optical drive which will cost $80 to replace, but comes w/ wi-fi built in; one of the 1st laptops back in 03 to come w/ wi-fi built in). hopefully that should tell ya how old mine is. im definitely looking into setting aside $$ for a gaming laptop as well. i heard the new gateways are capable of upgrading as well as possibly overclocking the cpu (tho i would never oc a laptop cpu).

just a side note; only reason i would get a macbook or an imac or anything mac-based would be for creating music. macs still have very few purposes, even tho theres geniuses finding more uses for them.

What? 100% Incorrect, first they can do more then create music they're not like an xbox that can only play games. Also very few purposes? Umm I have a mac in fact I have two macs, I do not own a PC. I do my school work, edit video, make sites, browse the web, listen to music, call people, edit photos, watch movies , and play games, especially with the release of Steam for Mac. Need I go on? On top of that not only can I install windows (therefore do what ever a pc can) but I can run emulators to run windows programs like I do to run source games while on Mac OSX 10.6. Trust me you don't need to be a genius to use a mac...

I really get annoyed when someone says that a mac can't do any thing, because its not true. In fact a Mac can actually do more than a windows pc and this is not an opinion it is a 100% fact because a mac can run windows therefore do anything and everything a windows pc can do and then it can also run mac software. (And no you cannot install mac on a PC legally or correctly, unless you use hackintosh which requires both hacking and illegally downloading a copy of mac osx, or use a copy illiegally.)
