Can the 13" i5 handle gaming?

[Mac Noobling]

So sorry I'm new around this sight and this question may have already been asked, but can the mac book pro 13-inch: 2.3 GHz i5 the (baseline model) Handle games like civilization and star craft 2 (and work online with out lagging a ton) with out upgrades. My parents are thinking of buying me one for school and of coarse they think the cheepest moddle will fit all my needs just fine.

If you're looking to game, I'd consider PC instead. The i5 can run those games, just not at higher settings.

Im not looking of solely a gaming computer. I was just hoping that it would be able to handle a few games periodicly. Im not worried about the highest settings I was just hoping it would work.

In that case, you'll be fine with the 13" i5.

StarCraft II can be played at medium settings without any lags/hiccups.
