Hey guys!
Sometime this summer, I'm planning on buying a rMBP when they come out with the new refresh models. I've heard good things about gaming on this machine, but I wanted to make sure I'm not over paying when it comes to the specs. I was thinking about getting a 2.7Ghz i7 with 16GB RAM and 512SSD [so the base high-end rMBP] However, with my Education discount, that's still $2,600.... Could I perhaps get the base model and still have games at medium to high settings?
And I also wanted to know how it felt like to game on the newer versions of Parallels. I see a lot of people prefer to use Bootcamp, but I like the flexibility of Parallels on Mountain Lion. [I think you have to reboot the whole laptop in order to use Windows/OS X? While with Parallels, all you do is swipe the trackpad? Please let me know if this si correct.]
Any help/advice would be great! Thanks in advance!
