Who ever wrote this article must take lessons from Karl Rove. No one with half a brain would compare the entry level macbook or macmini to an alienware running a 7800. Did Apple say the Macbook was for playing games? No. Did Apple say it was to compare to other gaming notebooks? No. The Gma950 graphics perform very well for Os X technologies, like core image, for renders on PRO apps. Which is suprising to say the least.
I don't get how the "gamers" managed to arrive at the conclusion that the entry level mac should play the games that the high end pc's play... must be 'cause they're children...
If you want to know how well the Gma950 will play your games, first, you're silly, second, it outperforms the previous radeon 9200, third, I wanna see the sub 2k notebook that you all allude to, that outperforms the MacbookPro. Because if there isn't one, you need to get a MacbookPro for your games and stop the F.U.D.
More integrated graphics from Apple
