    I am thinking about buying a Macbook Pro 15". I would use it for college; however, I want to be able to play games: sc2, d3. Is this a good choice?

    Thanks!

    I have a 17" mbp and I play wow, tf2 and need for speed: shift. It is not like my desktop but pretty close. I enjoy the laptop quite a bit.

    im pretty sure that the mbp at least the 15 and 17 with 9600 gt will be able to play it. Blizzard always makes their games not to demanding on the computer so that it does not limit its user base alot.
