I am thinking about buying a notebook. I want a computer that can game and do alot of stuff. I was thinking about a pc but I am like wait you can install windows also on the mac so i can have the best of both worlds.
I plan on playing call of duty 2, dragon age origins, left 4 dead 2 etcc but I will do so by installing bootcamp and windows 7. These are the specs of the mac I am looking at. Can this run the games great or I have to play them in the crappiest settings to run.
# 2.66GHz Intel Core i7
# 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
# NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512MB
# 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
# SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
# MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display

COD2 is pretty old. So that should run at ok max settings. I know those other games won't run at max. Mid settings will be ok.

I bet that was a rhetorical question since the required config for COD2 is heavily beaten by that system. 3-2=1, right?

you need to understand something which everyone failed to miss here in this forum.
Boot camp doesn't have full control over the graphics card so if you use a direct x game that requires full direct x support it is going to limit your screen refresh rate and even your resolution so be far warned
