    Ok, thinking about making the Apple switch now that the MacBook Pro has come out. Just one quick question, I'm not a big gamer but can it play the newest PC games? I'd hate to waste the power of that graphics card. Thanks.

    Yes - if the games ever make the Mac switch (most newer games don't make the switch unless they're somewhat popular).

    I am 99% sure we will see an emulator or ported versions of the PC versions for Intel-based Macs. Just give it time.
