well lets just say it should run a game like hitman blood money.
it wouldn't matter if it couldnt, but a graphics card like that is a plus

The General said:Everything you said is MAC MAC MAC.
Find a "PC" laptop with a 2.0Ghz Core Duo for $1200 and we'll talk.
You can put Windows on Mac's now too, and choose Windows or Mac OS X on startup.

Giving up Mac OS X was Apple's smartest move yet. Mac OS X will fad away into the dust, but I loved its user interface . Your right, I'd doubt that I could find a PC with 2Ghz under $1200, but the MacBook doesn't have nearly as much other features.

Can Computer is GOD! Low Low Prices..good for a student like me!
BTW, did anybody find notebooks with Merom yet?
Rapid said:well Mac OS X was just a fad . Like baggy pants, parachute pants, the mullet, Pogs and Pokemon cards.
Just a fad...every fad eventually fades away
The General said:Fixed.
Right, Mac OS has been around years longer than Windows. Windows was in the right place at the right time. Windows ME as just a fad. LOL
