Tomorrow im gonna buy a Macbook Pro 13 (Unibody), because my almost new Toshiba Qosmio x305-Q706 died the other saturday (with 1 month of live) and the technical center needs 3 weekends to replace my GPU. I need a good notebook in this days so i decided to buy another for my studies (and the old one is for my old brother). The case is that i thinked in a Macbook like i say before, but the only dudes that i have are this:
-First how is the quality from the new Macbooks Pro Unibody 13 (The one with an Intel P8400)
-It really lasts 7 hours the new battery from this model?
-Is possible to run RO (Aka. Ragnarok Online) without to install the whole Windows system to run a single game (Its the only game that i play in my free time).
From the theme relating to the Ragnarok, if i play in a private server with a Microsoft NetFramework 2.0 Based-Client there is a way to play it?
Sorry for the questions about that, i had months ago a old Macbook Pro (The First) which i lasted very little time so i know how to use mac osx but like this one is gonna be permanents (it has to survive 3 years at least) im very curious.
*Sorry for my bad grammar, i dont have a very good one (I speak spanish but i understand very good the english)

from what I see of Ragnarok wou will need to install windows fully to play on the MBP

Yeah, RO requires DirectX 8, so you need Windows.

no... Ragnarok Online doesn't need Windows, it runs just fine using Crossover Games... but can be a bit more of a chore to get it to work... but you can read how others got it to work on its entry in Codeweavers database.

you could probably easily get it to work many other ways.

About the RO, im gonna try but if i cant get it work i can continue playing it in my netbook (right now i do the homeworks in it, but is slow..)
About the battery from the new unibody macbook it really survives 7 hours? And the quality how very good is? The Mac im gonna use it for Studies and Music Edit so the games i dont care too much -
